Ummm ... America Online is NOT a new service.  I've been a member for
almost two years.  It used to be called AppleLink until about one year
ago.  Then called America Online (Or AOL for short or AO for shorter).
It was changed to that name because MAC's started coming on to the
service too.  Now we must accept the on-slaught of IBM's. You wanna
see some protesting, look in some of the essage bases on AOL.  Not
very many people want IBM invading AOL.  But it does look like PCLink
will be discontinued and combined in with AOL.

I don't know.  Just my $.02 worth. :)
