Mike, some thoughts on AOL. I know its dangerous as a rattlesnake BUT. Reading the news the past 24-48 hours about their rate hikes makes me think some (as high as 80%) of their subscribers are not happy campers. I realize 24 dollars a year is not going to break anyone but I like to think there are a lot of folks like me out there. Its the principle of the thing. Why pay $24 a year more for crappy service(g). I would tell them to take this IS and shove it (g). Now the capper is, I got a flyer from SAM'S yesterday and they are offering us (through a local ISP) access for 17.95/month. If Wallyworld gets serious about this dont you think AOL may be in for some tough love (g) erg

Thanks. I'm going to study their site a little more and may contact this fellow. If this stock is mainly a play on platinum do you know where I can view the price history of platinum for the past ten years and are there general items of interest that I should be aware of when viewing such a chart? Thanks for you help. I know I'm also asking a lot here, but you are such a nice guy.
