Thank you.
~This has been a test of the AOL alert system. Even though it's just a test, it still means that anyone using AOL should uninstall it and cancel their subscription immediatly. kthxbai.~

I'll take it you are saying to delete AOL and get something else? And why? Because of a test? Why does a test affect people using AOL. I'll be striaght and say does this mean AOL isn't working right? Or is it just a test making the system go falty?

AOL is for incompetent (l)users who cannot tell keyboard from mouse, no matter how hard it's explained that "the keyboard has little buttons with letters and numbers on it, and when you hit them, those letters and numbers appear on screen" and "the mouse has two little buttons*, and when you hit one, something happens on screen.", AOL is bloatware, its "browser" is just a skinned IE, mail is too strict on filtering, aince it's IE it's very unsecure and vulnerable, it costs too much, runs slowly, and can technically be labelled a browser hijacker since it drops "free.aol.com" in the IE trusted sites zone to download active-x controls for updates.Customer support can't tell right from left, and literally *every* person with experience in technology will tell you the same.

Oh well. I can't get rid of AOL. My computer died ages ago and this is the house one. Well actually this is the general house computer for everyone who lives here and I can't go deleting things. And my mum pays for subsriptions to AOL and whatnot so I can't do a thing about it. Plus it's the only internet access I have unless you count using school computers when teachers aren't looking  And I ain't got a clue what the big deal is. After a little swapping the filtering system has shut off. (That or it doesn't work) and doesn't filter any E-mails. The only other possible thing I can get is MSN and even now I'm unsure about that. I'll be able to get MSN hopefully in a few weeks or months but until then I have to use AOL. |

Make sure you get away from AOL as soon as possible.
