Why would anyone what to buy an On-line service? H&R Block was trying to get rit of Compuserve. IBM & Sears dumped Prodigy. I can get unlimited internet on-ramp for $10 a month. With FreeMark and Juno I can get free e-mail. I see no future in on-line services. With free e-mail I have a permanent e-mail address and can shop the cheapest on ramp service. As a matter of fact there are so many for free one month on-line services I could go from service to service and never pay for any on-line service. I'm seriously thinking of getting the free 50 hrs of AOL then dropping it myself. The problem is there is no reason for me to waste my time even doing that. With this web site I don't need forums and the internet is getting Freeer and freer even better and better. The on-line services as far as I can see are becoming the new buggy whip companies. I see no propriatary information that any of them are providing that I can't get on the internet or that I am will to pay $20 a month for. Bottom line I don't see any company wanting to buy AOL. Want a better investment check out TSCN(Telescan) or STNX Startronix. TT
