Read a piece in Toronto Star this AM about the surge of AOL- haters scribbling on the net (mostly because of its strict language censor). One stupid thing, though, is that AOL objected to someone using name "male messenger" for their site. (too close to "mail") This can't possibly effect the share price can it? I'm holding on to my shares, while the post-merger clouds settles. lol, mare

What do you mean by "It caused me to have to reformat"? After calls to my computer manufacturer and calls to AOL tech support I was told there was currently no fix to the problems that version 5.0 had caused (AOL tech admitted they were aware of the problem). I was advised to repartition and reformat my hard disk and start over from scratch. As a semi-illiterate computer user my understanding is that you wipe out all info on your computer and reinstall everything again. tc
