And we're not talking chicken and egg here, either. Of course, AOL's romantic involvement in the movie You've Got M@il, which stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, was not the first time a service provider has played cupid. Last night, the UK's newest terrestrial TV station, Channel 5, broadcast the soft porn movie E-Mail which relayed the tale of two sexually charged copywriters indulging in a online seduction that left little to the imagination. And which service provider brought these two heaving bodies together? CompuServe. Well I'll be blowed! ®
