Dialup should be like $1/month now.. if you compare it to DSL or other types of high speed broadband...
Too bad morons are still subscribing to their one year contracts... Heck, I was a moron for AOL a few years ago, but now I'll never go back

I don't think it makes ANYONE a moron.. It makes them what you were then.. NEW and Inexperienced.. You learned what was more interesting for you and AOL wasn't it.
SOME people see AOL as THE Internet and only care about their email address they have had for YEARS, and how they surf, chat, and IM. |

I was one of those morons too a few years back:(
I will never go back either;)
But and that is a big but for newbies it is good now days with the way the internet is, a least AOL is offering now some protection for these newbies that just connect and don't even have virus software installed;)

Training wheels for the internet? no WONDER why some internet users just don't get it.
It a scary thought to think that AOL "trains" anyone on anything. |

Oh I've had to deal with the fallout of an AOL installation before, believe me. The long reaching damaging effects it has. It still amazes me as to how many systems files it writes over to make its self operate. System files that are no longer there if you remove it. |
