Blodgett at ML on 1/20 reviewed AOL and gave it straight A's. Rated it 1:1 and said the merger is great news. Expects nearterm AOL can reach 90$. Says that all cylinders are firing.....A MUST for retirement accounts IMHO

Tecinvestor, I'm not going to try it on my cable connection but on my dialup I have problems also. Having AOL 5.0 already installed but just as a backup (use 4.0) I decided to try a free isp to just check for myself on the reported problems connecting to them after having AOL installed. The reports are true. Aol will not allow any other isp to dial out on my modem. This is not the way to operate an ISP. I am very displeased with AOL taking over my choices and am considering canceling my subscription. tc
