William -- there seems to be a lot of excitement over AOL -- that it looks like a real company with pretty solid numbers -- customers, advertisers, revenue growth -- even a profit! So, the price goes up tomorrow? And next week? And so on? I use AOL BTW -- never look at any of the adds or do anything but use it to get online sometimes. I can't click all the junk off fast enough. But somebody must be using it. Personally, I don't want my money in a company like AOL mainly for valuation reasons -- it is a thing with me, you know, not wanting to grossly overpay and all. But is seems to have everybody else on board.
