Um, _no,_ I'm not so sure that that clears anything up at all. In fact
I'm a little confused: What in the hell do ISPs have to do with this
subject anyway, muchless AOL?
And were you aware that AOL wasn't always AOL? It used to be a pre-inet
on-line service called Q-Link. And does anyone here know who it served,
the reason for its existence? Show of hands? That's right everyone: the
answer is Commodore Computers and their users. And yes, Steve Case was
there the whole time.
What? You think AOL just popped-up all big outta nowhere? Man, typically
big companies take time, time, time to get that way! (Am I right about
that?) They built their foundation on Commodore and built UP via
Commodore! But you didn't realize that, did ya? "Clear"? Not even.
