Investor-ex! Let me start by saying any fan of Seinfeld has to be a good guy and I must seriously consider what you say. What a great post. You bears sure are fun. I appreciate the shorts arguments concerning aol and I've been bombarded with facts and figures to digest but as I'm a bit delerious from intensely rooting home my beloved NY Jets this afternoon I will respond tomorrow.You guys have given me a lot to think about. Just one question . Do you guys go to the movies and/or read novels? Peacemaker, good movie{ I also double as a movie critic though those who know me will say I've never seen a movie I didn't like], has a scene near the beginning where the character is shown going on line and aol gets a great plug as the service being used. I don't know if they paid for the plug or it was just written in that way but it could indicate that in the real world aol is becoming synonomous with online service. If you read, check out the novel The Third Twin by Ken Follet{ so far very good] , on pg 80 another reference specifically at aol as an indication of going online. The movie and the book are mainstream America. Might that be a good indication of how the general public is being introduced to the online world? Just a thought. To be continued yada,yada,yada.
