They send me 20 of those stupid AOL disks a year, which I promptly throw in the trash.

LOL. I know someone in Silicon Valley who uses them for beverage coasters.

Cheers, CC :)

I like to think that the Democrat induced Netscape purchase by AOL, who in turn was purchased by AT&T, in turn scraffed up by the Ted Turner Time-Warner anit-Microsoft Crowd is getting their just deserved. Microsoft is challenging Tiem-Warner/CNN in the domestic cable industry by proxy company in building a fiber optic H across the US which started in the fall of 99 with about 500 small cable companies bought out and brought together - Ted Turner's faith in government rather than the free market to make honest money is what cost him and many their fortunes; trusing political induced profits is always something that a vote can change and in 2000 that happened!

They make good targets.

AOL currently down $1.06 in after-hours trading. That's almost exactly TEN PERCENT. In an hour and a half! BWA-HA-HAAA!

[GalvestonBeachcomber]

Most of that money was spent sending me AOL CD's in the mail.

I never went to business school but I think a good solution would be for them to offer a good and fairly priced product. AOL never seemed to care about either. If I got a MBA degree, could I too learn to make decisions that lose several billion dollars?

Well this is taking care of at least three of our favorite rat run companies and former big time donors to the DNC:

1. AOL
2. Time/Warner
3. CNN or the Clintoonian Noodle Nuts

The DNC gets more bad news!

[Grampa Dave]

This loss could finance the war against Iraq, Iran, Syria, N Korea and probably bail California out.

Any business that did great from 1993 to Jan 2001 and the CEO's and were big time friends of the Clintoons, the Da$$holes, and other Rat Politicians are truly endangered species.

Sell their stock and short them until they go belly up.

I feel so guilty about signing up just to view that Two Towers trailer, only to cancel it the next day...

I feel so soo guilty...

[HairOfTheDog]

It is your fault, isn't it?

[VMI70]

You are so right. It's almost hard to put in perspective.

100 billion days is roughly 274 million years. (I sure hope my math is right. )
Man first appeared in Africa about 2 million years ago.

Scary, isn't it?

Not as scary as this:

US government spending: 1.703 trillion (1999)

I hope they don't go under. I like the free metal CD mailers they supply me with on a monthly basis.

[HaveGunWillTravel]

Yay!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wonder how TIME's circulation is doing...?

[oyez]

Looks kie Wiley Coyote just caught up with The Roadrunner.

[Who dat?]

I like the free metal CD mailers they supply me with on a monthly basis.

What are they good for? Just outta curiosity. I've got quite a few and can't think of anything.

[ChadGore]

100 Billion. That's a lot of AOL CDs drink coasters.

I like to etch pictures on the shiny side. It looks really cool.

Probably...they were depending on me, I guess. I can just see the headlines now..."Slightly pudgy housewife at fault for the demise of AOL Time Warner".
