What is funny is you can't access MSPG site when you have AOL. Just shows you how controlling it is. MSPG waves the fee if you call them because they know about AOL's dirty tricks. I sold my trading shares of MSPG below that key support of $105 because I was unsure about the breakout in MSPG. Since then it has been very volatile and I can understand anyone who bailed because of the action. I still think it's not the end of the world for MSPG and it's just reacting to the selloff that has happened in the market. I hate to have a stock I own go down so quickly but I've learned over time that if I'm up on a stock and did well in the past there is no need to panic and get out because chances are you will want to buy back and it almost always is higher. I don't think most picked it up at $80, because at that point it looks ugly. I admit though the temptation to sell my long term holdings became very high yesterday. Let's hope it holds the 50 day for good and starts to look more constructive going forward. Ron

I started out on AOL and as I became more internet-wise I switched to MSPG but I have retained my AOL account as TCI/P for $9.95 mo. In other words--MSPG is my main ISP but I can still access AOL, too. MSPG is great-- never any log-on or shut down probs & I LOVE their prompt, no-hassle, customer service! But I really like the AOL interface--esp their E-mail and IM's and filing system setup. VERY user-friendly. I am long MSPG AND AOL and believe that BOTH companies are here for the long haul and will easily adapt to whatever new directions this Internet biz evolves into. Diana
