aren't the long term optimistic growth projections for AOL hopelessly flawed?

Hey, no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the public!

We debate this endlessly over on the AOL thread. A lot of us don't use AOL, don't like it, think the people who use it are idiots, and whine if the stock doesn't double every 6 months. We are a real bunch of ingrates!

Some of us like AOL. Many rather computer literate types stick with AOL, especially those with children. The typical consumer wants something easy and simple to use--like the cell phone user, who finds Nokia's whistles and bells too complex to actually use. They aren't techies and don't care about the intracies of computers. For them there is no reason to "graduate" to a "real ISP."
