 | View Full Version : You know it's time to find a new job when... markblair 09-18-2002, 08:36 PM A published report said several directors at AOL Time Warner want to fire founder and Chairman Steve Case. http://www.clickondetroit.com/sh/technology/stories/technology-business-167166320020917-100955.html okihost 09-18-2002, 08:37 PM :eek: on that note I think AOL's cash cow is going to run dry over the next few years with DSL becoming more available everywhere.. mind21_98 09-18-2002, 08:40 PM Could this mean no more AOL? :D AntiSpamHosts 09-18-2002, 08:44 PM Oh god, If only it were true. AOL = Close Internet Service = Mainstream Instant Messanging. mind21_98 09-18-2002, 08:46 PM AOL users should be licensed to use the Internet. That will solve our contempt for AOL. :) markblair 09-18-2002, 08:47 PM AOL going out of business? Never. Just think, even though DSL and Cable are more popular (in my opinion), ISP's are quickly converting their services and offering high speed. Look at MSN. They keep touting their DSL service all over their web site. And Prodigy was just bought out by SBC Yahoo and guess what they are going to start selling? High speed access. Those companies know that the business is in high speed, they'll just switch to that as well. 56K is probably close to being dead. But there are some people that will still use it. And I know many people that use AOL because they love being told "You've got mail". :rolleyes: SiteTutor 09-18-2002, 08:49 PM AOL owns www.QuackBack.com i learned this with the help of my daughter Madison.... when we were searching for quality 'chat related' names to buy.. ';-) markblair 09-18-2002, 08:53 PM Originally posted by SiteTutor AOL owns www.QuackBack.com AOL also owns ICQ, Netscape, and WinAmp. Just to name a few. And each time they purchased one of the above companies/applications, it went down the tube. I considered each of these listed great at one point. Then AOL got into the picture. mind21_98 09-18-2002, 08:55 PM Originally posted by markblair AOL also owns ICQ, Netscape, and WinAmp. Just to name a few.

Winamp's still wonderful. Then again, I haven't tried 3.0 yet. :rolleyes: AntiSpamHosts 09-18-2002, 08:56 PM I think AIM is AOL's greatest product.

Everyone is entitled to continue to use these programs and that is all fine. I was just expressing my feeling towards the company AOL in general. I personally don't use any of those programs but again, that's just my preference. interactive 09-19-2002, 01:48 AM aol=arse holes online :D lol Haze 09-19-2002, 05:11 AM Originally posted by mind21_98 Winamp's still wonderful.
