Technology Stocks : America On-Line (AOL) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Sonny, agreed. Practically every kid in the neighborhood is on, or wants to be on, AOL. It's a no brainer and the instant message feature is a winner. Two events will seriously drive AOL: cheap high speed internet access (which will eliminate the problem of getting bumped off) and "You've Got Pictures." While the latter feature is available in other forms, relatively few people are aware of it. AOL will make the feature a hit, probably bigger even than "instant message", IMO. You can say all you want about better, more sophisticated ISPs. AOL is what most kids and lay people want. It's become a household name. I've been accumulating AOL for the past two weeks, buying nearly every day on the way down, and if it drops tomorrow, I'll buy some more. By the end of the year today's prices will look cheap.
