Loyalty.  Gratitude.  I was a charter subscriber to AppleLink-Personal
Edition, and continued with AOL until that Fall of 94 (or whenever they
made me an outcast).  That would be 8-10 years of continuous patronage
at $5-10 a month or more.  I don't why it would have cost them much to
debug the current apple2 software and continue to provide the same service.
Graphics isn't the only available user interface.  The earlier text
interface would still work just fine for aII users.

When AOL made it choice to disconnect me, I made my choice.  I'll never
resubscribe to AOL no matter what the benefits or services.  I will do
without online service instead of giving AOL more of my money.  Fortunately,
I think there will always be alternative service available.  Soon I
suspect AOL will be ONLY Windows95+ service anyway.  Mac/PowerPC users
will be looking somewhere else for service too.
