To the best of my knowledge, AppleLink is very much still AppleLink (a service
run by Apple, connecting it to dealers, developers and other special people),
while America On-Line is a separate, commercial service for just plain users.
AOL was at first being developed in cooperation with Apple, and would have
received the name "AppleLink Personal Edition" or some such, along with a
subset of AppleLink's capabilities and some consumer-oriented stuff.  Apple
pulled out and took the AppleLink name with it before AOL was launched.
