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

Umm.....on AOl...I would't rush to call people fools.

You forget one thing.....Brand awareness, loyalty and recognition.
There are lots of cola's that tase just like Coke.....why do people buy coke?? There are lots of search engines that do a great job....why do people use Yahoo???? Russell and Champion make great sports clothes.....but why does NIKE sell thousands of times more stuff???

The answer is simple....AOL will always capitalize from being on the most recognizable names and sites on the Internet. As they morph from an ISP to any other form....they will always carry, and attract new users, due to their name AOL. With only about 100 million Internet users.....there is so much room for growth it is not measurable.

Later,
CM
