>>I was checking to see why people were sticking with AOL<< One of the key reasons for poeple sticking IMO is the email. This worries me a bit. When I cancelled my Fidelity MCI account I lost the address and even the capacity of having the mail forwarded somewhere else. Pancho

Druss... Re: AOL Surely this will cause another spike up in AOL stock price. >>New lawsuit against AOL Just when it looked like America Online had resolved the service problems and consumer complaints related to its switch to a flat rate Net access program last year, there's a new lawsuit. In a filing late last month, the online company has been named as a defendant in a multi-million dollar class action filed on behalf of content providers, advertisers, and electronic commerce users, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The claim is a common law breach of contract with AOL users who last year may not have been able to access or transact business through the service, according to attorney Gary Mason of Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll in Washington, DC. An AOL spokeswoman downplayed the action, characterizing it as "just part of (last year's) suit. This case will be resolved, with the first one soon," said Wendy Goldberg. << cbs.marketwatch.com Bob T.
