Maybe AOL is downsizing because of all of the competition they have been
getting - I read in the newspaper that AOL stock is falling and they are
probably cutting back and redirecting monies and efforts into recruiting
and providing better software and support for their customers. If you ask
me, they should be spending their money on more servers - the primary
reason why I left AOL is because the call was not local and I got fed up
with $80 phone bills! - Tony :-)
