Great News....shorts on the run........AOL Says Poised For Record Subscriber Growth Tuesday September 21 12:56 ET DULLES, Va. (Reuters) - Internet services giant America Online Inc. said Tuesday its AOL and CompuServe online brands were on track to post record membership growth for the first quarter of 2000. AOL said it expects flagship online service to exceed last year's growth, but did not provide details. In the fourth quarter of 1999, ended in June, AOL added 685,000 new U.S. members, up from 523,000 in the same quarter of 1998. AOL's flagship service has more than 18 million members worldwide. So far this quarter, its other Internet service, CompuServe, with a new software version, has added more than 300,000 new subscribers in North America. CompuServe provides Internet access for more than two million members worldwide. Shares of AOL jumped three to 86 in Tuesday trading on the New York Stock Exchange. "We are extremely pleased with our aggressive entry into the smaller value segment of the market," Bob Pittman, AOL president and chief operating officer, said about CompuServe. "At the same time, AOL's flagship brand continues to attract at a record pace the mass-market consumer who wants a premium, full-service answer to their Internet online needs," Pittman added. The new CompuServe 2000 software says it offers faster Internet connections, easier installation, expanded customization options, upgraded electronic mail features, and simpler navigation. Dulles, Va.-based AOL plans to extend its current $400 personal computer rebate program with PC manufacturers through the holiday season. AOL's youth-oriented online communications network, ICQ, has more than 38 million members. Its AOL Instant Messenger, an Internet messaging service, has more than 25 million members worldwide. Another unit, Netscape Netcenter, an Internet media network aimed at business and home users, has more than 17 million users. Copyright 1999 Reuters Limited.

Good Evening Sonny, I have been very disappointed with AOL until the last couple of days. I think this dog may have finally got over its down spin. The turn may have finally come. Yesterday's announcement of record subscribers sounded a little fishy but Merril Lynch is going at it now with their HHH Launch. The timing is right for the Holiday season coming in several weeks. I am not going to fight what may be the new internet stock buying frenzy. I bought back my shares this morning. If the momentum continues especially after October I may buy aggressively. Getting ready to visit Canada soon. Have a great evening Frfank
