I am headed for RoadRunner cable internet, I figure the few extra dollars will be made up for in the reduction of phone fees.

**I am headed for RoadRunner cable internet, I figure the few extra dollars will be made up for in the reduction of phone fees.**

I hope you don't do this as a means of punishing AOL. They bought out Time Warner which owns Roadrunner so it would be like trying to punish General Motors by selling your Chevy and buying a new Buick.

Incidentally, the stock has lost almost half it's value since last June so the Prince isn't exactly making hay on this deal. There's also a lot of foolish investors who either believe their AOL stock is still based primarily on the internet business or those who think it's just Time Magazine and Warner Brothers. AOL-Time Warner has their tenticles in practically every part of the telecommunications media - from internet service to films, music, cable tv, software, books, magazines and all cobranding off one another. If they collapse, the rest of those industries are in deep trouble. In that sense, the Prince is right. It's not going away anytime soon.
