AOL is the blue chip of the internet. All the sophisticated internet users can make fun of AOL and its interface, but the reality is that most of Americans are not very computer literate, are afraid of computers and the internet. AOL makes it easy. I've dubbed it the Readers Digest of the internet. And I also bet that when people unwrapped their new puters at christmas, a large number (50%+) took advantage of the free 150 hours of AOL. and got an email address, and started emailing their friends and family, and gave AOL their credit card for billing and and and. Also AOL announced today huge $$ were spent on their sites by their customers. AOL is actually a conservative internet holding, if that is not an oxymoron. Thanks Reid for the candlestick chart on AOL. The chart is a thing of beauty, held the low and looks like it wants to take out 95 with a vengenance. Long AOL and smiling. Larry
