Ed,
You comment that you think AOL will grow somewhere in the 75% range.
Okay. I haven't really done any bush-beating on the growth issue for a while but I'm getting this intuitive sense that the first wave of Internet users is hooked up and happy. The number of U.S. households online is projected to go over 50 million in a couple of years from todays about 35 million. In other words, the rate of growth of the Internet is probably slowing and, I would guess, AOL's growth with it.

On the WebTV, I agree that if MSFT handled it from the ground up, the result might have been different.
Best,
--Steve
