Pruguy, IMHO, AOL will continue to suffer abroad, and will lose market share to other ISP's locally. They way I see it, the number of families who aren't on the net is at it's lowest levels in history (I would assume). The 50 y/o's of this country have kids in their 20's and 30's who know enough about the internet to realize that you do NOT need AOL to check email, buy products on line, chat, etc. They, in return, convince their parents to sign up with local ISP's. Bear in mind, this is my view of the trend. AOL is old news, relatively speaking. I can get on the Victoria's Secret homepage and order my wife all the lingerie she could ever wear, with out ever utilizing AOL and Vic's Secret's e-commerce partnership. JMHO Pru. AOL needs to do something revolutionary, again. I just signed up for @Home, love the connection speed. I use ICQ, but could use Yahoo's instant messenger, or the new I.M. from microsoft just as easily. Out with the old, in with the new. Would like to hear your comments. TIA. Regards~ TP
