Probably has something to do with the fact that AOL has not
always been as bad as it is now. Originally, it had the best user
of the three  services and intelligent discsussion. Mac users
represeneted a large number of the subscibers, I'd guess. A lot
of them may have been holdovers from Applelink The Personal
Edition (who remembers that?)
