If one had $100 in Time-Life stock in, say 1985, does anyone have any idea 
what one would have left now after the Time-Warne-AOL fiasco?  I remember 
stacks of those free AOL disks at the grocery store checkout.  I think 
someone made out big time on the internet and some lost big time  Steve 
Case, for one, has a net worth of $1,370,000,000.  You could buy a lotta CDs 
for that, just guessing, freight trains full of them. Of course it would be 
even nicer if you could convince someone else to pay for the CDs.
