ATHM cost 39.99 a month. I think most users would prefer to pay the 21.95 or so a month for AOL. Those who complain about the speed are daytraders and other's who work on the net. Not the casual users who make up 95% of the internet market. JL

Not an argument here sir but remember that we now have companies "giving away nice 300 mgz complete systems if you will just take the ISP connection charge on for a year. Same as the cell phone 10 years ago..........the phone cost $1500 and the hook up was $150. Now they give the cell phone away. What they want are users. A user 5 years from now will want to be able to send and receive email at least with his new Dick Tracey wrist watch free system and will be willing to pay a fee.<g> A user gets a free phone and is willing to pay the access fees.(AOL)
