Khalil, >>How much "e-commerce" are these folks good for? Just doesn't seem to be the desired demographic for all the banner ads. And how much profit will there be in being an ISP? I believe you are correct in your e-commerce conjecture. This person I was helping had been on 800 calls to AOL for most of the 7 hours he was struggling to solve his problems. He did not know what his problem was and of course one the the technical persons at AOL had run him down the virus path and scared the "h" out of him. The cost to support this group of people when they get in trouble is high. Right now the bottom line is this age group is joining AOL at a rapid rate. Where it will all end I do not know. We all know this stock is an over priced asset and will more than likely be adjusted in price someday. If I knew when I would own a whole bunch of puts when it happens. <ggg> Joan
