I'm sure AOL added million customers, since they are now with
Netscape. If you get NS 4.5 it asks periodically if you want to
sign up. And Compaq has it on their systems. And don't forget
those kzillion CD's offering 100 hours free. So for every
million that sign up for the free 100 hours, how many leave after 100 hours?
