Conquering Time and Space America Online already dominates the time that Americans spend on line, through its flagship dial-up service and other brands, like CompuServe for the value-minded, Netscape for business users and ICQ for the cyber-hip.

AOL's version 5.0 software due this fall, will add features like ways to transmit family photos and post car pool schedules on line. There will also be more advertising and more items for sale. ...ON MORE DEVICES... Starting next year, AOLTV will let users superimpose E-mail, chat and instant shopping on their TV screens as they watch programs or surf the Web. Even sooner, users will be able to check E-mail on Palm Pilots -- and, ultimately, on anything with a screen and a link to the Internet. ...AT HIGHER SPEEDS Bell Atlantic and SBC, and later Direct TV, will offer AOL Plus, a broadband service with instant Internet connections and high-speed downloads. The cost will be about $40 a month. But so far, cable systems are keeping AOL off their wires. >>>>>> Your bovineness, The foregoing are the graphics (without the pie chart and pictures) included in the AOL article. Hopefully, they conform to the essence of your desire. They certainly serve a useful purpose especially to long-term investors. Have a great Fourth of July and save some fireworks for the markets on Tues. Best, Mick Mormony
