Are people that computer illiterate that they will pay a premium to use AOL because they received a disk in the mail with a good installation program?? This would be my guess. Glenn

Off Topic: AOL (company, not stock). Everyone always wonders why AOL does so well. The reason I've seen is chat rooms and instant messages. If you start with AOL via the free disk and quickly make several friends in chat rooms, you don't want to change to a better service because you won't be able to chat with the people you met on AOL. I agree there is nothing special about AOL in general. It's really just e-mail and a bunch of things that you can easily find on the web. I don't and have never owned AOL stock.
