Hey Yaacov & Sonny, It's interesting you are talking about DSL or ADSL. We talked about that at the luncheon after the stockholder meeting. My opinion is I trust my phone company a heck of a lot more that my cable company. When ever there has been a storm out here I've always had the phone but rarely had Cable, even when I had electricity. Mrs. Viola said the same thing when they had the earth quakes out West, they had phones but no cable. Just something to consider. Some of us would be lost without our internet connections. Plus the other day I came home and my cable was out, they were supposed to disconnect my neighbor but instead cut me off. And it took them 6 hours to come out and fix it and I live about 5 minutes from the cable company. Have an excellent evening!! Take Care Ann

Hello Yaacov. Got your follow up post on AOL. Sorry, I have been lucky to sneak in an occasional post lately and just check in once in a while. We had a housefull of kids and grandchildren and had the pleasure to drive everyone around. The kids and grandchildren came in from Seattle and Fla and it's kind of hard to attend to SI and the net. Anyhow. I am taking the time out to answer your post before tomorrow. That is the day I have a breather. gg. AOL. I don't think there is much more to add from my side. I am sticking with AOL, even though it is suffering from all this cable blah blah blah talk. One guy was on CNBC this afternoon and said that AOL should be valued like a cable stock. Give me a break. I think AOL is a bit more than about Cable. Like I mentioned to you before: AOL is practically in my backyard and I try to keep up with it as well as I can. The business model seems great to me and I have put my faith into S.Case. Right or wrong. It is a new area of technology and I do believe that AOL will succeed. Now that is JMO and hope. So far I can't complain on having invested into AOL even if it has come down from it's high. I would like to be so unlucky in more of my stocks. gg. Oops. Gosh. Just noticed where AOL is trading at. What a surprise. Now I will have to take the time out and check out what made AOL soar. It looks like a lot of the internet stocks are moving. I guess the same thing is happening again. The second qtr is always a bit slow and then the nets will be bought for the third qtr. Again. I have not had much time lately to check all the news on my stocks. And in hindsight I would have sold AOL to pick it up down here. If I find any news, I will post again tomorrow. Sonny

Hello Yaacov. Wow. I am glad I posted. The market soared some more in the meantime. I just checked MY YAHOO for my stocks. I have ATHM on my watch list. ATHM is down over 13, not real time quote. Something had to happen that AOL is up over 8 and ATHM is down. I will check it out. But you know how to look under ATHM and AOL news and may want to check it out before I can get back to you. I will be off until tomorrow. Got to run. Sonny
