Solution for Yahoo. Become an ISP. Internet service plus all Yahoo content (free auction listing, clubs, geocities, mail) for $20/month). The only users left on AOL would be the "mentally challenged".

I see that K-Mart is now offering the Bluelight Internet Service (12 hours free - 100 hrs/mo. for $9.95)

I'm not making a recommendation, just wondering why Yahoo didn't pick up on this idea.

K-Mart kept the free internet access going to keep the customers comming to their shopping site during the holiday shopping season.

Now they are offering free unlimited internet access if you order merchandise from K-Mart online.

Yahoo does nothing. Asleep at the wheel. Maybe dreaming of a minor miracle that will save them.

I think you'll find that the "mentally challenged" are not using AOL - they are all working as Yahoo auction managers.

AOL or also known as ALMOST ON-LINE is mostly made up of the the mentally challenged. But that is a huge % of the population. Why else would buyers only goto ePay when they could use the Auction Watch Universal search engine to find their stuff?

There is one class of users for which AOL has no competition: International travelers. Only AOL has a local access # anywhere you go on the planet.

AOL was also the premier mating machine, or "meat market" as some call it. I guess it still is. If they charged for the sex they helped make possible they could give Gates' bank account a run!
