downloaded it which was very quick and easy since I used my 45/mo 750kbps dsl connection. only took about 1 minute.
then had to shut off the fast service to use the slower free service. tried to connect 3 times and took about 2 minutes to download the start page. then when I clicked on si in my bookmark I clicked of the ad so I can use the other half of my monitor. At that point it disconnects me....this happened 3 times so I guess it is by design.
So I guess this is what you get for nothing.
Slow service that allows you to use 1/2 of your monitor.
I think I'll continue to pay for fast access through dsl/aol.
I'm sure this free crap appeals to many people as does a ford fiesta, but you don't see that many fiestas on the road.
This is not worrisome at all to this long AOL shareholder
