Aol

AOL 6.0 is the newest version of the AOL software and

service. We've streamlined the look, enhanced our most

popular features and services, and added an array of other

exciting innovations to bring the AOL service to a new level

of ease of use and everyday convenience, and to give current

members and other online consumers even more reasons to

enjoy the benefits of AOL membership.

As with every new AOL product, members' feedback played a

central role in the development of version 6.0, which

includes their top requests and suggestions and offers more

personalization and added benefits of "AOL Anywhere."(SM)

New Benefits of "AOL Anywhere"(SM)

AOL 6.0 is another major step in our "AOL Anywhere" (SM)

strategy of making our members lives easier and more

convenient by making AOL's industry-leading brands and

features available to them anywhere, anytime they want -

from their PCs, the Web, their TVs, their phones, their

pagers, and other personal mobile devices.

As part of its new design, AOL 6.0 features a new button on

the main toolbar that directly connects members to a new

"AOL Anywhere" site. This new "AOL Anywhere" site brings

to life the spectrum of AOL features and services that

members can access from wherever they are, including AOL e-

mail, instant message features, the My Calendar(SM) service,

portfolios, and other personalized news and local

information - from either the Web or non-PC devices. AOL

is also introducing a new AOL by Phone voice service, which

lets members access their AOL accounts using their voice -

from any telephone. These services will roll out with the

AOL 6.0 service later this year.

Broadband Support

AOL 6.0 offers broadband support over digital subscriber

line (DSL), cable and satellite platforms and delivers AOL

PLUS multimedia content and features like full-motion video

and streaming audio to members whenever they sign on with a

high-speed broadband

connection.

NEW FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS OF AOL 6.0:

* Streamlined New Look & Design: A simpler and more

intuitive toolbar provides faster access to the most popular

and frequently used features and AOL content channels. The

AOL 6.0 Welcome Screen introduces new programming to make it

more personal and relevant to members, and also enables

members to customize up to 10 areas they visit often and

want right at their fingertips every time they sign on.

* New E-mail Features & Enhancements: Members can sort their

messages and save them directly to specific folders in the

Filing Cabinet, and view HTML mail. There's a new "Auto-

at the time of download, and more.
