No, but 5/7 = 71%. CompuServe's worldwide figures are 5,000,000+. Aol's figures are also worldwide. I bet it's actually closer to 75%+ as that AOL denominator is inflated due to all those 50 hr freebies.
"Instead, CompuServe, the second-largest online service with 5 million users worldwide, plans to refocus itself on its original mission: serving business customers."

As for Win'95, it was my understanding that Csi icons would become integral this Fall when MS revised the program and new computers shipped. Perhaps you could point me to my post, I can't locate it.
As for Disney, if it does proceed as planned it will take the families with young kids, no question.
BTW, AOL lost the fight as I said it would:

AOL's position was without foundation. That should have been a big negative today, maybe the market didn't get the news or was eclipsed by the general euphoria or perhaps it was the curious wording of the agreement.
The unusual thing is that AOL appears to be forcing members to choose the unltd service or none at all:
"AOL will now put up a splash screen that requires
users to affirmatively choose the $19.95 unlimited
pricing option before they can use the service,
according to the agreement. AOL had planned to
start automatically charging the new rate to anyone
who had been paying the previous rate of $9.95
for five hours a month, unless they chose
otherwise."
Perhaps its just the way the article is written. If not, as an AOLer, perhaps you could clear it up.
(I go subtropical the entire winter, have a nice three weeks.)
