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.
