1 million a month. Are you sure of that RocketMan? That's great if it's correct, and they can continue this pace.

Hi Rocketman and all...talking to a Japanese national I work with a few weeks ago, he mentioned, "I received a CD-ROM from America Online and signed up." A Japanese gentleman who is a manager that my company is subcontracted to joined and said, "So many people in your company use AOL, I decided to join."

Should get one final head fake on AOL by the MM's this morning and then a slow rise today for three or four points then a good run to earnings and split.

RocketMan Re explosive AOL growth. I surmised that the other night when I was watching my 16 year old on ICQ with his friends. The kid had 6-7 windows on the desktop at the same time, carrying on a group conversation. It's the same thing when they take off 8-10 kids in cars at a time. They pick it up at home on AOL . Then I remembered one of our earlier posters here on SI 5 months ago who said he bought AOL when he saw his kid's ICQ No of online pals at 170!!!
So you multiply 8 kids per conversation, X 170 pals, X no of kids in America ( world ), and you get....
