More and more new users buy computers each day...most are going to ask for their AOL...not MSN(Huh? Never heard of it!)...It's a known fact that even when they become computer smart, most parents do NOT switch over from AOL because of their kids...I have alot of friends I chat with on AOL instant messenger...about 90% of them are AOL users...I also have ICQ...I ask ALL my AOL friends why they don't try ICQ, or even MSN Instant Messenger...most don't know what it is, or even care to switch...they just want their AOL...the msg has been sent before and it will be sent again...nobody gets anything worthwhile for free...AOL will continue to grow and the market will eventually take notice...Until Bill can offer AOL for free, his MSN for free will do nothing but frustrate alot more people onto AOL...with free service you can now expect busy lines all the time, slow as hell access...and undoubtedly limited use time...The public will remain where they did the last time MSFT attempted a feeble challenge with MSN(never heard of it)...Holding AOL, and only wish I had more $$$ to pick up at these bargain prices.
