AOL is very AMERICAN, FREE content, OpenSource, mp3.com, Netscape buy out, yes, AOL has it right. We want it, we want it now, we want it free, or we want as much freedom as we can buy as cheap as possible and we don't care who gets it or gives it to us. Everyhting that they have been doing shows that they can and will deliver. Netscape didn't get bought out by MS pay for every move you make Microsoft and crew. I wish something good like Wordperfect, now owned by Corel (was bought from private to Novell NOVL to Corel COSFF) would get hooked into AOL too. They at least have always provided free support and service. They have a superior product, they have it mix and match and link and cut and paste and be otherwise seemless and painless with their other products like Quattro Pro, and even Paradox and all sorts of graphics and web tools. Their Linux free download hit over a million downloads in a record setting short time, they bought out Netscape for the same reason. Yes, I think their future is bright. I agree about rotten cable service, just like telephones, I would put Cable/Telephones and Microsoft as "the worst" in customer service, hell even the gas and electric company are more helpful and they are a utility that only answers to the government.
Thats part of why AOL will make it, but it has careful M&A buying sprees ahead of it.

P.S. Look for more than $120, but buy tomorrow at $112 maybe, or as low as it looks (progression chart) by 11 am data.
