The comment by Johnleemk that Case was not initially CEO of Quantum is, I think correct. Can we find when it was he did formally become CEO? He was certainly calling the shots before the title became official. BTW, the references to the three initial machine-specific services were cut in that edit, and I restored those 2 sentences.

According to the book I cited, he became CEO in '91, and chairman in '95 or thereabouts. Johnleemk | Talk 14:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I checked and he is credited as "co-founder" of AOL. I edited the results of the research back into the article. Coll7 07:17, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, according to Klein, although he was among the original company's first employees, he didn't really "co-found" it, although he did introduce himself as its co-founder to many new employees in the late '80s. He did have a lot of influence, but he definitely did not co-found the company. Johnleemk | Talk 14:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Made the changes described -- please check to confirm I got it right. Coll7 20:38, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Yup, right on target. Johnleemk | Talk 14:40, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
