They Can Lie All They Want,
But AOL's simply the Worst,

"You can get up to 7 different email accounts!" (I'm sorry, but the 1 account I have suits me just fine, thank you)

"Get entertainment, sports, and news with just a click of a button!" (Can't you do this on regular internet, with just a few more clicks?)

"I send pictures to grandma all the time!" (So do I!  Through Hotmail!)

"I love the sound when I recieve an instant message!" (I use AOL messenger, but that sound is annoying as hell)


Sorry, kinda in a bad mood tonite.

Well then, I guess this "Topic" served a purpose...you can "Vent" and I'm sure you'll feel better by morning, if not sooner ;)

I have a virtually infinite number of email accounts as I can use my email address as a virtual domain and stick anything@ in front, allowing me to sort all incoming mail into appropriate inboxes.

It's also bollocks: it ALWAYS takes more than one click of a button.

I hate the f*****g sound when I receive mails/messages.  Just enough of a "ding" to let me know something's come in will do fine, thank you very much.

PS Three people that I have spoken to in the last week have said that they ended up paying AOL because they didn't realize they had to cancel at the end of their free trial period.  I wonder how much AOL makes from people who do just that...

Now that I have the DSL hookup, I have true freedom!!! I still use AOL for my e mail account (sort of hafta as that e mail is listed in all of my books), but other than that, I spend NO time on AOL...  ;D

Like I said once before, I almost got a job working tech support for AOL, but I figured I would have only lasted a day since I would have answered all technical problems with "Your problem is you're using AOL, change ISPs."

Hey look, an old topic to bring back to life ;D

Anyways, me personally I always hated AOL.  And everyone that I know that has it hates it too.  My parents got AOL, but they only get it for 3 months and you cannot beat that.  I get my service through school so it's cool.
