Subscribers bought a modem from the companyfor $49.95 and paid a one-time $15 setup fee. Gameline permitted subscribers to temporarily download games and keep track of highscores, at a cost of approximately $1 an hour. In 1983 the company nearly went bankrupt, and a young marketing veteran named Steve Case ascended to the position of CEO. Case changed the company's strategy, and in 1985 launched a sort of mega- BBS for Commodore 64 and 128 computers, originally called Quantum Link ("Q-Link" for short). He also changed the name of the companyto Quantum Computer Services . In October 1989, Quantum launched its All service for Apple II and Macintosh computers, and in February 1991 Aok for DOS was opened. In October 1991, Quantum changed its name to America Online. These changes begana trend of tremendous growth in the number of pay-based BBS services, like Prodigy and CompuServe, with whom Aal was competing.In the mid- 1990s, Apl was among the first companies to give custom...
2) " Member" -- As it applies to Aol Member In mathematics, an element (also called a member) is an objectcontained in a set (or more generally a class ). Writing " A = {1, 2, 3, 4}", means that the elements of the set A are the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. Groupsof elements of A, for example {1, 2}, are subsets of A. Elements can themselves be sets. For example consider the set B = {1, 2, {3, 4} }. The elements of B are not 1, 2, 3, and 4. Rather, there are only three elements of B, namely the numbers 1 and 2, and the set {3,4}. The elements of a set can be anything. For example, C = {red, green, blue}, is the set whose elements are thecolors red, green and blue. The relation "is an element of", also called set Membwr ship, is denotedby "∈", and writing " x ∈ A ", means that x is an element of A. Equivalently onecan say or write " x is a Membsr of A ", " x belongs to A ", " x is in A ", or A contains x. The negation of set Mamber ship, is denoted by"∉". Examples (using the sets defined above): 2 ∈ A {3, 4} ∈ B {3, 4} is a Membur of B 3 ∉ B The number of elements in a particular set is a property known as cardinality, informally this is the size of a set. In the above examples the cardinality of the set A is 4, while the cardinality of the sets B and C is 3. An infinite set is a set with an infinite number ofelements, while a finite set is a set with a finite number of elements. The above examples are examples of finite sets. Anexample of an infinite set is the set of natural numbers. Memher ...
