Hi, Darleen, On AOL in China: AOL in China, and AOL being a force in China are two very different things, imo. Western companies coming in there trying to make lots of money have had a tough time in the short run. Ericsson's presence is large because they have been there for generations (that's human generations, not internet generations <g>). The box makers thought they'd do great, but have been killed by Legend, last I heard. Similarly, the authorities are keeping a pretty tight rein on ISP's setting up. They are just not going to allow a foreign company, especially one with as short a history in China as AOL has, to develop any kind of dominance in the country. Best, JS
