It's only $14.95 when you already have a connection and log on using TCP/IP. Yes, I use it for email that I can check anywhere I want. Essential when you travel or when you're just not on your comp. Another thing is I design a lot of web pages and with 40 million aol users you have to make sure that it looks good on aol's browser as well. Most aol users don't maximize the screen because the minimize is set as a default, so I take that into consideration when designing. If you ignore them, you're ignoring a huge audience. A 15 dollar monthly tax right off that more than pays for itself. This concludes my presentation on why webmasters have aol accounts.
