Olu, You might be right on 75 being AOL's low. However, it looked like strong support at 85 today, and then a nice bounce up. Personally, I'm hoping for a rally to 100 in the near term on AOL. Guess we'll see. If it does hit 75, I'm loading up on Jan calls. P.S. Hope you know I was just playing in my last post to ya. Didn't mean anything by it. Just being a smart @$$.

1) As a backup ISP in case my cable is out! 2) Instant messaging! 3) I can reach AOL as a local call from almost anywhere in the country (that's how I browse the net when i'm out of the country!) Olu, Still have a bring your own access account on AOL too for the same reasons you stated. There is a bit more in content AOL offers than most other ISPs too. For example, Businessweek is free on AOL. All of Businessweek. It is around $30/year on its regular site. There are some others I am sure that do not come to mind. Growth my be slowing in the US and Europe has been a problem due to free access. Nothing truely is for free so growth may pick up again due to Asia and South America. Also, subscriber growth could slow but revenues from e-commerce and other alliances are growing. Glenn
