"After seeing AOL on a friends machine it was easy to see it was made for new users and the (much) younger set." No question. But, then, Windows was designed for the common man (as AOL was) and is highly successful. AOL took a page.... The other funny thing? AOL is not losing subscribers, but taking them on at a record pace - either through Compuserve or AOL. In addition, the # of registered Netscape members is growing nicely, too. While it's easy to poke holes in their technology - you can't fault their marketing acumen, which is allowing them to rake in the advertising $$$ faster than anyone else. Hell, 1/2 the online shopping was done through the AOL shopping area this season.
