Hey MindWaste, you should check to see if you have any of their mini cds or their 3.0 version, look at some of these ended auctions on Ebay, that's crazy.

I think that AOL sucks. I still don't see how a company can charge a few bucks more than most other providers, yet be the biggest ISP in the US. I guess that like people say, it's like the "Idiots Net Connection". The thing is that if you get yourself a customizable startup page and download ICQ, you have pretty close to the same thing. Except you don't have your computer saying "YOU HAVE MAIL", which I'm sure would get annoying after the first few days, he he he.
I just get a kick outta their promotional cds that say that they'll give you 720 FREE HOURS, then in small print it says "to be used in the first month". Why not just put "ONE MONTH FREE", that'd be much easier.
When it comes to net access. I always say, stick to LOCAL access, that's the way to go, great prices and their right in town, so it's easy to deal with them and it's much cheaper, you can get unlimited local access for $15 per month here. What does AOL charge, isn't it like $23 per month. I have cable modem now from Charter, which is beautiful, I'm glad that i don't have to deal with dial up.
