JRH, re: AOL

AOL is a Gorilla for many reasons, but the main one is the reason that Uncle Frank's Grandmother looks to it to introduce her to the internet.

I say this as my AOL just logged me off, it took me six tries to log back on, and though I have a 56k modem, AOL's servers decide to connect me at 30k!!!!!

AOL can and has survived this experience for years and will continue to thrive because of the Gorilla status it now enjoys.

Thanks,
Teflon

Justin,

I tell ya, I have no idea what the better technology is...DSL or Cable. I waver one way or the other depending on who is yelling the loudest on these boards.

The question I have is, will the dumb old customer be able to tell the difference? If not, well, it's a question of who does a better job marketing the technology.

To me, it's neck and neck right now.

Can these two technologies coexist?
