JDN-- the one thing that seperated AOL from the rest and gave it its leadership role is MARKETING. No one else saw the potential. The CDs being everywhere made/makes it most convenient to load. Others a person has to find and ask for software or have an ISP to download from. New 'puter owners find AOL the easiest to start with. The younger set now has the peer groups on Messanger and that is a huge draw. It still amounts to AOL provides little that is not available in other places but the marketing is still the best. When TW gets on board the mkting people will have things on an even greater roll if that is possible,,
