Can it get any better?.........America Online attracts about half of all first-time
Internet users. AOL has been parlaying that subscriber base,
which is nine times larger than its closest competitor, into
alliances so that it can rake in more revenue from advertising
and e-commerce. Just today, computer maker Gateway Inc. and AOL
agreed to distribute each other's services and products.
''The AOL juggernaut continues to roll,'' said Derek Brown,
an analyst with Volpe Brown Whelan & Co., who rates AOL shares a
''strong buy.'' ''There is still a tremendous opportunity for the
company to grow.''

Thanks for clarifying that for me "backlog" seems skewed to the negative whereas advanced commitment or firm contracts for -- would seem more positive in tone.

Not to look a good horse in the mouth; now let's see 1 billion in ad revenues next quarter and another billion in backlog!
