Mooooarvelous is my guess! Gotta get a mike set-up. So much easier to convey ideas verbally than in print. AOL/TWX did'nt they sign with ISLD to do the hosting and content delivery? Much better model than ATHM. Subs can only grow but it's obvious the combined companies can't grow at the rate AOL "could have" standing alone. As to the combined "value" I don't know, stocks have been trading on vision and momentum.
