Aol ..

does anyone even use AOL anymore? did they go bankrupt giving out free CD's?

i used AOL for years... because it was on someone else's dollar...

 

i still have my email account through them.

i don't use them to get on the internet anymore though.

 

me neither..that seemed to be the place to join back when it was mostly dial-up..ya know, "back in the day"

 

AOL is worse than a virus... seems once you put it on your computer you can never get totally rid of it!

 

just like any virus scanner you may install...

 

AOL is now a free browser.

Time Warner has actually made much much more off of AOL through advertising by giving it away free than they ever made by charging an OUTRAGEOUS fee for dial up service.

I remember when I first got broadband. I had to FIGHT with my mom to pay $44.00 a month for lighting fast internet instead of paying $35 for AOL. It ended with me coming out of pocket $9 a month. :leaving:

Only if you don't know how to monitor your installs.

 

I use it.And hate it.
Haven't got rid of it cos I know its faults.
And that would be a pain up the arse with software shit I'm using.
( learning another co's faults from scratch)
I never use their brower.
Their tech people are turkeys.
Its overpriced but it is generally reliable.

Anyone used iCloud or Linux?
( Sorry completely irrelevant btw)

 

never claimed otherwise.

at least i know how to quote.

 

I know how to quote. I just dont bother to do so every time. I dislike only being allowed to quote the posters comment and not the whole post.

 

edit: the same thing happened to me, friend. :cheers2:

 

Edit it. No. EDIT IT. I'm not your friend. Edit the post.

 

quotes are great... can't do that on AOL!

 

Thats so funny. my parents still use an aol account no matter how many times i tell them its a waste.

 

I don't even know why aol charges about 10 dollars a month for dial-up--it should be free or maybe a dollar a month,because aol is rubbish.

 

I haven't been on there in years... I still have my instant messanger name though.... I get on it pretty often.

 

Woah man, keep it to confessions.

I have linux but I haven't got round to downloading the wireless drivers so until then I'm on Vista. (Linux mint btw).

Fuuunia, Shroomie and Lode are the three linux people here I know of.

 

you know you're old when you remember when aol 2.0 was blazing fast.

 

I KNEW IT!
