When AOL split, it and Dell were almost dead even that day; somewhere around $46? (my memory is somewhat vague). Dell has since split, but compare the two now. It will be interesting to see how prices go. Love both stocks though! I just have 20 times more Dell than AOL....

I've got one better than that: tscn.com I got into AOL in '94 & unfortunately - sold for a double 6k to a mere 12k - when I chickened out after a couple of big down days. (mere blips on the cosmic chart) Today - that 12k would have been worth over 1 million in less than 5 years...Figured people would use regular (lower priced) ISPs etc. I underestimated the "stick a disk in" keep it simple stupid factor for American Joe six pack. So - got back into AOL for good about 6 months ago & learned my lesson -- hold forever :-) Needless to say - I'm real happy with my AOL & look forward to the cool million in another 4 years. :-) I'm pretty good with early ID -- so with GBLX - will be holding forever - as I should have done with AOL back then. It's where AOL was in '94 IMHO. Go AOL! (There's nothing like good management - if you have that - you are golden)
