IN RE AOL... I too say that AOL will be the only "internet gorilla" left standing in 5 years. Merrill Lynch's Chief Investment Officer just upgraded AOL this week with a 12 month target of $195 along with several other analyst's!!!!! Their sheeer size allows them to adapt to market conditions very quickly. Abby Cohen, Peter Lynch once made reference to AOL, in so many words, as a stable product in any porfolio. Who knows...I think they will get even bigger.

--OT-- AOL... AOL is in serious danger of loosing its advantage. As the world turns to high bandwidth, AOL will be left out in the cold. @HOME is the leader and recognizable force in high bandwidth(cable). ADSL is a loosing proposition, and its AOL's only high bandwidth access to the consumer. When high bandwidth out sells your 56.6 modem, AOL will no longer be the market leader. People will still recognize their name, except they will say "oh yes i remember AOL back when i had my super slow modem, god it was a pain in the but!" and AOL buying NETSCAPE??? dont even get me started on that one LOL regards Jay
