I hope this article has not already been posted. Just a short article on AOL

PlanetRx prescribes deal with AOL

America Online (AOL) and the soon-to-be-launched online pharmacy
and health care product site, PlanetRx announced a marketing and
e-commerce alliance. The deal includes AOL's online service as
well as its AOL.com Web site and Digital City network. The
three-year agreement will generate $15 million for AOL. PlanetRx
will be the premier online pharmacy partner in AOL's Health and
Women's Channels, and the only online pharmacy "contextually
integrated" throughout the Health Channel. PlanetRx is expected to
launch on AOL, AOL.COM and Digital City sites in early 1999.
Ironically, the chief executive officer of PlanetRX, is William
Razzouk, who was president and chief executive officer at AOL for
five months in 1996.

3000 shares of MSFT officially qualifies you to give the rest of us stock tips.

Sounds like you have unique experience with various on-line services and browsers...you choose IE now, any reason? I find it slower than Netscape navigator.

Aol $9.95 access is to allow your business clients to e-mail you; isn't it fairly automated at this point (0nce one sets up pop3 and smtp servers?) Do you use aol content for anything yourself besides news which can be found from gazillion sources? Can you use this AOL access with your @home service (mine to be installed in two weeks!)
