TO ALL: While on a cruise that included the Greek Island of Santorini, I went into an Internet Cafe to dial up my AOL account. The owner used to be a broker in Athens. He was very much occupied at the time on the internet checking his portfolio. He told me he really liked Yahoo and did not like AOL. Among other things he very much disliked the word 'American' in the AOL acronym. Perhaps AOL should change the A to mean 'Always'. I also noticed that Internet connections are extremely slow both in Greece and Turkey. Cisco has a big worldwide market to satisfy.
