You tell him, Johnny !!
Fuckin Manchester wannabes 
AOL is quite handy...... absolutely love some of the sturdy packages they send, very useful when sending out discs to other people. Plus, the discs themselves are great to place used matches on (candles in this household.......I replace them when they become too burned).
AOL are the lowest scum company on earth....they shut warez chatrooms inside 10 mins because there is money involved, yet let kiddieporn ones stay open claiming "not enough admins". And even death doesn;t cancel your account with them.
I could go on but the more I think about it the more angry I get.
BTW....if you are on AOL...see if you can get US gun control sites, or the Democrat party website....AOL used to bar both.
And they own NO :(
I started out on AOL but needed broadband later. Sure, user friendly but shit connections for online gaming. My mother still uses AOL but I cannot believ how much shit it loads onto the pc. Currently I use Mediacom who picked up the pieces after @Home went tits up.
One of the best last year day was the day I got rid of them.
I moved and they said that I could not get ADSL in my new house... "Technically Impossible" In the meantime, they wanted me to pay an extra fee of 5€ each month for the ADSL ! Exemple : September 16,90€, October 21,90€, November 26,90€ and so on...
I resigned, but I had to pay an extra month because of the fact my letter was not "arrived in time". But of course, in Morrocan or Senegalian AOL call centers, they had told me that everything would be OK with the post stamp. I sent the letter two weeks before the deadline ! So what ? The address is in France but as soon as they received them do they send them again to Morroco ?
Last summer, my girlfriend used our AOL in Spain. Call centers, chats, everyone told us, at least five times, that it costed 5€ an hour of connection. We paid 12€ an hour !!! No discount, nothing despite a lot of letters, evidences and copy of the facturations abroad with their own fares...
They wrote us three times that they were not wrong but never explained how or why...
And they finally told us that it was impossible to get the ADSL here !!!
Sorry, we had a better offer by someone else, cheaper and faster... Guess what we did... But I had the feeling that we would still pay AOL bills until 2006... Bunch of thieves...
And I like the fairplay of these b***. They automatically send mails from other providers in your SPAM. So, if you expect a mail from your new provider, you can wait until death...
I feel better...

i do apologise, slight slip,
Fact of the matter is, that any ISP who hides their setup details inside a proprietry connection program, are scum who are trying to fuck your PC. BT are nearly as bad....they connect broadband modems through dialup networking...whcih works a treat...NOT.
Would one of our current AOLusers try that test I mentioned above.....see if it still blocks anything not right wing enough for America's youth to read.
Diary of an AOL User July 18 - I just tried to connect to America Online. I've heard it is the best online service I can get. They even included a free disk! I'd better hold onto it incase they don't ever send me anther one! I can't connect. I don't know what is wrong. July 19 - Some guy at the tech support center says my computer needs a modem. I don't see why. He's just trying to cheat me. How dumb does he think I am?
July 22 - I bought the modem. I couldn't figure out where it goes. It wouldn't fit in the monitor or the printer. I'm confused.
July 23 - I finally got the modem in and hooked up. that nine year old next door did it for me. But it still don't work. I cant get online.
July 25 - That nine year old kid next door hooked me up to America Online for me. He's so smart. I told the kid he was a prodigy. But he says that's just another service. What a modest kid. He's so smart and he does these services for people. Anyway he's smarter then the jerks who sold me the modem. They didn't even tell me about communications software. Bet they didn't know. And why do they put two telephone jack holes in the back of a modem when you only need one? And why do they have one labeled phone when you are not suppose to hook it to the phone jack on the wall? I thought the dial tone sounded funny! Boy, are modem makers dumb! But the kid figured it out by the sound.
July 26 - What's the internet? I thought I was on America Online. Not this internet thing. I'm confused.
July 27 - The nine year old kid next door showed me how to use this America Online stuff. I told him he must be a genius. He says that he is compared to me. Maybe he's not so modest after all.
July 28 - I tried to use chat today. I tried to talk into my computer but nothing happened. maybe I need to buy a microphone.
July 29 - I found this thing called usenet. I got out of it because I'm connected to America Online not usenet.
July 30 - These people in this usenet thing keep using capital letters. How do they do that? I never figured out how to type capital letters. Maybe they have a different type of keyboard.
JULY 31 - I CALLED THE COMPUTER MAKER I BOUGHT IT FROM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING A CAPITOL LETTER KEY. THE TECH SUPPORT GUY SAID IT WAS THIS CAPS LOCK KEY. WHY DIDN'T THEY SPELL IT OUT? I TOLD HIM I GOT A CHEAP KEYBOARD AND WANTED A BETTER ONE. AND ONE OF MY SHIFT KEYS ISNT THE SAME SIZE AS THE OTHER. HE SAID THATS A STANDARD. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT A STANDARD KEYBOARD BUT ANOTHER BRAND. I MUST HAVE HAD AN IMPORTANT COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HEARD HIM TELL THE OTHER SUPPORT GUYS TO LISTEN IN ON OUR CONVERSATION.
AUGUST 1 - I FOUND THIS THING CALLED THE USENET ORACLE. IT SAYS THAT IT CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I ASK IT. I SENT IT 44 SEPARATE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTERNET. I HOPE IT RESPONDS SOON.
AUGUST 2 - I FOUND A GROUP CALLED REC.HUMOR. I DECIDED TO POST THIS JOKE ABOUT THE CHICKEN THAT CROSSED THE ROAD. TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE! HA! HA! I WASNT SURE I POSTED IT RIGHT SO I POSTED IT 56 MORE TIMES.

August 7 - Why have a Caps Lock key if you're not suppose to use it? Its probably an extra feature that costs more money.
August 8 - I just read this post called make money fast. I'm so excited. I'm going to make lots of money. I followed his instructions and posted it to every newsgroup I could find.
August 9 - I just made my signature file. Its only 6 pages long. I will have to work on it some more.
August 10 - I just looked at a group called alt.aol.sucks. I read a few posts and I really believe that aol should be wiped off the face of the earth. I wonder what an aol is.
August 11 - I was asking where to find some information about something. Some guy told me to check out ftp.netcom.com. I've looked and looked but I can't find that group.
August 12 - I sent a post to every usenet group on the Internet asking where the ftp.netcom.com is. hopefully someone will help. I cant ask the kid next door. His parents said that when he comes back from my house he's laughing so hard he can't eat or sleep or do his homework. So they wont let him come over anymore. I do have a great sense of humor. I don't know why the rec.humor group didn't like my chicken joke. Maybe they only like dirty stuff. Some people sent me posts about my 56 posts of the joke and they used bad words.
August 13 - I sent another post to every usenet group on the Internet asking where the ftp.netcom.com is. I had forgot yew signature file which is only 8 pages long. I know everyone will want to read my favorite poem so I included it. I'm also going to add that short story I like.
August 14 - Some guy suspended my account because of what I was doing. I told him I don't have an account at his bank. He's so dumb.

sounds tome like you had quite a few I10T. errors. my main problem was with the crappy splitter box i was supplied with (not AOL), man was that messy. For some reason it did not look at all like the one they had on the disc i got supplied with. I finally got it working, but phone plug barely fitted, because that internet cable was running down behind it. i fixed that the next day by buying a nice neat one. now i have only one cable running to my computer instead of three.
