>>Aol will be a thing of the past...in less than 5 yrs.IMHO... Do you also think we'll all be working in paperless offices by then? Techno predictions often head in the wrong direction from the very start by looking too much at what technology can do and how it can be done and not enough at consumer preferences and consumer behavior. So far, AOL has been giving millions of consumers what they want. So far, we have not seen any signs of a major exodus bulking up the numbers of the other access providers. Look back at the question that starts this very thread in 1996 if you want a sobering reminder of AOL's ability to grow rapidly when skeptics thought its day was past. I think AOL has a better idea of what mainstream consumers want and how to market to them than you exhibit with that brash prediction.
