OT: 2 years ago, i raised the same concern about msft and dell and was wisely told that they had plenty of room to grow. i did not believe it and failed to take advantage of their magnificent run-ups. aol is still in its infancy with internet in only 25-30% of homes worldwide, most of which won't see broadband access for 3-5 years. worry about aol in 2002 if no broadband deals by then. in interim, adsl/xdsl will fuel their revenue growth just fine. free internet is a decade away outside the usa, at least in any scale. also have a friend who is a partner in a railroad who says a colleague of his was in hungary working with eweb and there were aol people there. can't verify for sure, but have no reason to doubt him. eweb just announced the second acquisition in a five country expansion. check the thread. it's a full nasdaq stock (not bb) which trades for about 2/share. i hold 1800 shares on presumption that it will be an acquisition target when the government lifts the monopoly on home access in 2001.
