OT: I dont consider myself closed minded at all,Mr.Host. I did pay my money to SI in order to get on this thread with like-minded AOL shareholders. I have no problem with info about AOL good or bad so that I know what is happening with it at all times. However, all you seem to do is post Negatives without giving it any credit at all. I find "that" is VERY "closed minded". You are entitled to your opinions just as we all are so why not share them on the ATHM thread where they will be more than welcome? sincerely, Dep

MediaOne offers cable access for $29 per month if you buy the modem from Circuit City, and $39 if you rent the modem. I tried the connection at Circuit City. You got a raw connection to the Internet. They were using a Netscape browser. Didn't see a Road Runner Icon or an Athome one. When I used the latest version of Realaudio that was on the desktop to view Bloomberg News Live it was as slow if not slower than my V90. This made the cable connection useless at a sight which has high traffic, but if your thing is viewing web pages as quickly as you can, and you do a lot of downloading from sites that aren't to busy it's for you. This is my opinion Aljorma

steve , I remain suspicious. Here you are spending large amounst of time trying to convince this thread to dump AOL and buy @home. I went and had a shower etc etc come back, and you are still here trying to convince the few AOL posters who are not out on this beautiful day enjoying the weekend. Nobody on this thread has spamed @home. We don't need to. AOL was the ~3rd largest holding in Fidelity Magellan, the largest fund in the US after GE and MSFT ( I believe ) until Bob decided to sell it because he probably tripled his money and decided to cash in. I am sure he's been buying furiously the last week since his only reason for selling was " high valuation " and was now at 30% off from 176 to 115. AOL has been a rocket. So THE MARKET has spoken steve. Go and post your letters on the market's thread and convince him/?her ?g. You may have more luck. I just think that down the line able will be a commodity, all over the place. You 'll be tripping over it. When I wired my home for cable we had to do some pretty heavy hole digging and my wife wasn't too happy about. Only 1 mill homes have cable in the US. Piddly no. AOL has 50 mill plus eyes steve if you count AOL+NSCP+ICQ+COMPUSERVE+WHATEVER. They are connecting in Europe, SAmerica etc. all over the world. Let me ask you, what do you think will happen to @home stock as soon as AOL thinks it's the right time to deploy cable and hooks or buys a company? With it's small cap it's going to drop like a steel beam/cable <g> I would say. Try AOL, you'll sleep better. It may also allay those subconscious anxieties you have about all this <g> and allow you to spend more time on @home thread so that at the first sign of trouble you'll be able to bail out rapidly. Just my 2 c TA
