$240 per new user, that's wrong. AOL added 700,000 - 800,000
new users last Q. The average marketing cost is 100M per Q (last
two Qs), which gives $130 per new user. The $240 per new user
must come from the same analyst who downgraded AOL three months
ago based on 300,000 net user increase per Q.

People trust AOL more than Internet. There are more just watching
than buying on the Internet. I can't see any profit which could
be created on Internet except Internet provider which is part of
AOL bussiness. AOL is also much more reliable than Internet to
my standard. My Internet service was cut off twice during
my typing, it's free anyway. The Internet is just like flea
market or 99 cents store, it will be cooled down soon, and
people will go to online services eventually. In fact, Internet
is not free, whenever there is a valuable information it asks me
to give away my credit card number.

There conversion figures are starting to show improving trend
according to AOL August 9, 1996 report. I think no matter how
much you spend on marketing the net new comer will be same about.
700,000 - 800,000 per Q due to the fact that Intel ships 10 million
units per Q, 1/15 of them become a AOL member.
