Exactly what is Netscape now anyway? Their website is like an MSN.com knockoff or something.

AOL has a few gazillion Modems sitting idle, trying to milk every last dollar out of them.

Ironic if you remember the days they didn't have enough Modems for all the subscribers trying to get in at same time.

If AOL offered a $9.99 dial-up package under their name, what would their 22 million subscribers do who are paying $25.00 a month? AOL quickly recycled the Netscape name to offer a cheap dial-up service to compare with NetZero and others.

So what exactly are we to surmise about your intelligence after reading that statement?
