OT-- AOL I didn't want to step on AOL long's toes... I think people that subscribe to AOL do so just to get connected, not for the content. AOL is a safe first choice for the web beginners, and I agree they are millions. Once people get familiar w/the internet, they will want to CHOOSE their content and not be fed by that big motherly mammal.
