greg,

"Due to the twx merger aol will be writing off about $165 billion in good will for the twx merger. "

Time/Warner is a $100 billion company being acquired for $160 billion from what I have read. TWX is a functioning corporation, hardly a dead-loss. What is it that AOL is writing-off for $165 billion?

Cheers,

Norm

greg: Exactly right. This was a weak move by AOL/Case. They have become a division of TWX. How does any figure that MSFT/T deal would be a good deal for MSFT is beyond me. Where do these anal-ists get their financial accreditation? JFD
