Gee, TA, I must have ESP. I have not checked the thread for several days, and when I do guess what I see? Anyway, just wanted to say hello to all. Been pretty busy lately with work and sailing, so have not had much time to be on the thread. And AOL is not a stock I worry about, it will go up and go down, but in the long term it is the best internet play to be in, IMHO. Good luck to all. P.S. About satellite, I re-emphasize that it is a big world out there, and I just can't see any one technology being the single broadband answer over the next decade. Satellites have bandwidth capacity problems; cable has the cost and difficulty of laying fiber to the curb; wireless has line of sight and interference limitations; DSL has the problem of proximity to the switches. All of these technologies will play, and eventually one will become dominant, but I for one am glad that AOL did not sell the farm to go into cable right at this premature stage.
