Chuzzlewit, AOL after its merger with NSCP and its alliance with Sun is more than just a portal. It is the one entity on the Web that can make a complete linkage between businesses and e-commerce customers. It can go to Macy's and sell not only the hardware and the software (via Sun) to set up an on line store but also gurantee 60 million plus customers for that store. If Sun's Java software becomes as popular and useful as the company's chairman believes it will, then Aol can deliver Web top windows for the PC, the software coming from the internet, making the installation of MSFT Windows unnecessary for browsing and shopping the Web. Only Yahoo has similar customer loyalty to AOL. When the internet industry "shakes out" AOL and YHOO will be the NBC and CBS of the new media. I don't know who the ABC will be just yet or even if there will be one. Are you seriously considering selling AOL? What are your major concerns. Give this thread a chance to post more information to address them. I have a ton of articles on AOL tht i have clipped since its merger with NSCP. I will post some when I get some time. jhg
