For now.
In mid 2005 look for AOL to sell off CompuServe. The new CIS will launch as a closed off service, with no ties to the Internet, and therefore 99% less SPAM, virii, and spyware. In 4th quarter 2005 CIS will launch a text only service.
In 1st quarter 2006, Time Warner will sell off AOL--to Atari. Atari (formerly Infogrames, formerly Hasbro Interactive, formerly JTS, formerly Warner Brothers Atari, formerly Bushnell Atari) will launch a new direct user interface that coexsists with CompuServe over standard telephone lines via an analog modem. It will be slow as hell. But it will not have SPAM, spyware, governement spying via Echelon, RIAA or MPAA spybots, a GUI, or lawyers.
It'll be sweet.
