Chung. They gave you a name of a sub division to live in? Why did you leave? I bet you the reason is that they never gave you a house to live in. gg. Yes, but you don't have an urgent need to switch immed.? Why not if you are going to switch anyway? Again most subscribers of AOL, especially with children, will not abandon AOL despite that wonderful world wide Web out there. Sonny

Mr. Chung Lee , it is my experience that AOL DOES NOT offer any "premium content", the open web has more content that makes AOL blush in comparison, as far as the warm and fuzzy "family and community" thing", I could get more feeling of belonging at Geocities, Tripods, Xoom, I used to be a "resident" of one of those, did you know they even give you the name of a subdivision to "live" in. That may be important to you but not to me. I believe that most web users do not care about that stuff either. They are to busy with their lives rather than spending time figuring out where they should belong to Geocities, Tripods, Xoom and should their subdivision have a name. AOL and the majority of their users disagree with you about their content. Most like it and consider it "premium content" enough to pay "premium dollars" to belong to it. As for low cost, AOL has Compuserve at 9.95 to go against MSN at 11.95. The only facts I have to back up my statements are the 17 million AOL users. I also believe Case and Pittman have a much better knowledge of the situation than you or me. I feel that MSFT went though similar situations and look where they are today. AOL's revenue streams are changing. E-commerce and advertising will soon be over 50% of their income and eventually be the majority of their revenue. Thank You JK
