OT AOL seems to be a real franchise. I spoke to a number of AOL subscribers and they seemed to like the service. The company seems solid, and looks like a good investment vehicle. I almost put some $$$ into AOL back in February, but I liked HBOC's long-term prospects better. The major negative I see with AOL is the low barrier to entry problem, but given the value of the brand name and subscriber loyalty I'm not sure that this is a real problem. If we're talking internet sales, look closely at BKS. This is AMAZON.COM with earnings! Well, you can't complain about switching $$$ from TLAB to DELL except you have to pay the taxman a chunk. I'd love to hear your thoughts concerning accounting for employee stock options. How do you think that ought to be done? TTFN, CTC

ot ot ot Jim, re:I am getting bullish on AOL. I see aol as a CBS, NBC, FOX in the future. Ahhh, I love to see this thinking coming from investors like you. I have been investing in AOL for sometime now, my original reason was that I believed then, as I do now, that AOL is building an interactive TV station. AOL represents the best investment in the online world to-date and going forward, it has name recognition (big time, more people know what AOL is then YHOO), it's on the big board, it has earnings, it is priced lower then YHOO and the rest of them, it's getting a cut of e-sales from; music, computers, books, software, travel, phone service, realestate, investment services, insurance, the largest I-net on-ramp, etc., etc. Plus, AOL is best positioned for the up and coming PC/TV. Compare AOLs graph with MSFT, DELL, YHOO. AOL has bested MSFT is about to pass DELL and YHOO. Greg
