AOL was a high growth King in the dot.com area. Try a different idea on for size, Bill. I'd say AOL wasn't a King because it's core business wasn't technology. It was media. Now that the company will be called AOL Time Warner, people will more fully appreciate that it's core business has never been that of a high-technology company. It has been and continues to be a growing media company. A conglomerate like this one will never have the high growth we are looking for. I agree. --Mike Buckley
