One thing that I liked about AOL is that for a long time they kept me stocked 
with floppies.  Now I have more coasters (CD-ROM's) than I know what to do 
with.

AOL took the lessons that Gillette Safety Razor Company taught many years 
ago (and which M$ picked up on), --- give away the razor so that you can sell 
blades, and worked it to perfection.

BTW, it looks as if Compuserve is assimilating AOL's practices --- a response 
to Frank McClure's original message that I sent on Saturday still has not 
reached the list.  Now, if Time-Warner does the same thing, bye-bye 
Time-Warner!  (Of course, sympathy for Traitor Jane Fonda is not one of my 
great, or even minor, concerns.)
