AOL (American Online) was originally founded as Quantum Computer Services in
1985 and in November 1985 it released its first online service called Q-Link
which was launched on Commodore Business Machines. In January 1986 they had
a total of 10,000 users using Q-Link.

In October 1989, AOL service launched for Macintosh and Apple II and in
October 1991, Quantum Computer Services officially changes its name to
America Online, Inc. This same year marked the DOS version of AOL being
launched. March 19th, 1992 is the date that AOL went public on the NASDAQ.
The original price was $11.50 under the symbol AMER.

After four years of service in 1993, AOL was up to 500,000 members providing
access to the internet, and offered access to its own online information and
services which were aimed at the average American consumer. This year also
marks the date that AOL launches the windows version of AOL. In 1994 they
surpassed 1 million members and also acquired the following companies:
BookLink Technologies, developer of Internet applications, NaviSoft,
developer of Internet publishing tools, and Redgate Communications,
multimedia publishing company. Greenhouse is also launched at this time to
develop original content online.

1994 is also the year that they launch WAR against Microsoft. AOL is
determined to beat Microsoft when their new online service comes out. In
1994 Prodigy announces plans to provide users with access to the Web.

I need some references and documented proof that "aol.com" existed

not
offer internet access....

Eddie offered a cute explanation that would have been useful IF it fit
the
acoustics in a car.

It was useful to ma and a lot of other people and you have offered
nothing
useful.

He just wants you to believe him WITH NO QUESTIONS!!
Writers as you may know DONT HAVE TO GIVE THIER SOURCES!
Its part of thier first amendement rights....

It DOESNT MATTER HOW..the point is that it did. And you STILL havent
offered a solution to me or anyone else. Obviously you dont have a
solution,
just definitions.

and his definitions are wrng... ;-)

This means the woofer placement is irrelevant below this frequency.

OK..I'll move it back and enjoy the ****ty sound because you say it
doesnt
matter. Im sure I'll be much happier.

ha ha ha

about or just doesn't care. He'd rather just shout "LIAR" instead of
dealing
with real acoustics and audio engineering issues.

He solved my problem. You didn't. You may or may not be a liar, but
you
contribute nothing of practical value and I consider your prattle to be
useless.

ha ha ha
Sic em!
