Funny how AOL started out as the cutting edge thing that all the techies were using, and then one day, BAM! It's crappy luser material. Napster did the same thing. Once it went too corporate, it sucked.

I never could figure out how Napster made all it's money. The service was free and there were no ads on the program or website. I have seen concerts sponsered by Napster, but "sponsering" usually means the company mentioned is spending the money on the event.

How about all the exclusive interviews?

I guess, but it still seems like they have a lot more money than any interviews would supply, even if exclusive. Wait, there could only be ONE exclusive interview anyway, right? ;)

Uh, since when was AOL ever cutting edge? I remember back in '93 or so when I was still in school. All the new AOL users who were joining our little university/military network were dumbasses and the butt of many jokes! Not quite as many as the Delphi users (does that service even exist anymore?), but still pretty bad.
