When are bears going to realize that cable access itself isn't gonna bring down AOL. Cable is an access medium with increased bandwith over a modem. As you can connect to AOL with a modem, you can connect to AOL with a cable modem. guess where all the most tech savvy, most-likely-to-buy something online crowd is going to be in a year or so? One thing they won't be doing is wading through all of AOL's cyber junk mail. . . The most tech savvy aren't using AOL right now anyway. That is not AOL's market. Cable has a long way to go before "Joe consumer" decides to plop down $40 for access charges only. As for junk mail, a simple preferences update on AOL will get rid of 99% of the spam that goes around. Yet people still fail to realize this.... S.
