Paulstorm Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hey AOL guys, Unfortunately, all my friends who used to work at AOL have moved on...I have no AOL "juice" anymore! Anyway, long story short, I've gotten into a wager w/ someone over wether AOL will release in late November or not. He says late November, I say no way in hell AOL would hand over the marketing airwaves (essentially to promote the hell out of being more advanced than AOL, and that magic "8" number) for a full month!! In addition, AOL has released new versions in October the last two years. I've heard AOL 8.0 on October 15th. What have you guys heard? He said he'd bet MONEY that it wouldn't come out in October...but if I win he buys dinner. Hit me back! = ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
