- That would be sweet.
It has been my lifehood dream to buy out AOL.
Then:
Fire all employees
Demolish all buildings
Spend whatever money is left on paper
Use that paper to constantly mail out my new Advertizement campaign to the former CEO of AOL (You've Been Screwed!)
Job completed

"The New York Post report is inaccurate. It isn't true," said Tricia Primrose, a Time Warner spokeswoman.
A spokeswoman for Microsoft said the company had no comment on the article, citing a "strict" Microsoft policy of not commenting on rumors of possible deals. "If there was something to announce, Microsoft would announce it," she said.
As the Web page notes, owners of those ThinkPad models can check whether their system needs the upgrade by doing the following:
• Click Start, select Settings, select Control Panel, then double-click the System icon.
• Click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager.
• Open the Device Manager
• Expand the Disk Drives section to view all hard disk drives in the system, and look for a drive model number that reads HTS726060M9AT00.
