no osso. you are not wrong. Aol is like a virus. It consumes any and all internet ports and usually does so by the OK of the user. Simply because it asks questions on the start-up/install that noone can understand so assuming the best, you click yes to all the questions. By then it has dominated your computer .
I worked for aol for 2 months when i was 24. that was when aol was in its hay-day. 24 some million subscribers. I only lasted 2 months because of the company -ethics-
Aol was pumping out millionaires like crazy ! about 60% of them were former employees being granted stocks for thier ' saves' ( saves= people you kept on the service when they called to cancel ) Best paid group of phone salesmen I have seen in my LIFE. I was making 40,000 a year and I was giving NO effort.
I learned alot about the aol program. I have to say, even to this DAY I am impressed with what it has to offer. I just hate the service, quality, set up, etc etc etc. Now all the other isp's are catching up and running circles around AOL , it is just a joke ISP. but.. being a sucker, I fell for it again.. >sigh<
I am right now trying earthlink.
So far the connection is working, the account is up..
hmmmmm..... maybe everyones secret fantasy wont come true.. im not loosing my internet ! ( wicked laugh )
seriously.. it is nice to hear from everyone! I am surprised that I would be missed!?!
I feel warm and fuzzy... or is that the beer?
