Let me tell you fools about AOL. Sorry to be so blunt, but I've had it w/ the sheep all recommending AOL.

I ask one question:
Do you know what the hell AOL is?
(or 2) Will that product be needed in the future?!?!??

ISP's? Dont know where they'll be once cable or whatever is widly avail.
AOL's proprietary services are junk and anything they offer
can be found better on the web for free.
And connectivity?
Will you use AOL when you can get cable internet for the same price??
Calling internet by phone will like harking back to bows and arrows.
This is something they will need to address either with alliances or buyouts.
AOL could be worth .12c in a few years, they could lose entire customer
base!
Remmeber they simply are a forerunner, not a leader.
