...you want to compete where you're strong, not where your opponent is strong.... This is precisely my point. The place where AOL is strong is in internet access. I ask you, isn't your computer much more important to you for your internet access than anything else? Mine is centered around the web. Such things as word processing, data base, and spreadsheets are secondary. It is also very important to me that my internet work well. I cannot tolerate problems there. It also allows AOL/Netscape/Real Player/Java/other a basis/stage on which to operate without MSFT pulling stunts to stop them. I'd also like to add. Although I'm no computer expert. I'm sure that you can have your computer with more than one operating system on it. You just divide your hard drive so it is acting like two different ones. Then you boot up with whatever operating system you want. Am I not correct? This allows AOL an easy way to edge into the PC operating system. As far as Red Hat's cost. I'm not arguing actual cost. Just theory of why AOL would be interested in such a business. BirdDog@OhHomeOnTheRange.com
