Jay,
Just a general question about AOL.. I have been using MSIE 4.0 with a local ISP.. The local has been going down a lot, they blame a 2nd party for the network problem. I finally gave up.. Grabbed one of the many AOL disks (+8 or 10) I have laying around.. Installed it yesterday.. THEN found out I couldn't transfer all my hundreds or thousands of bookmarks.. One tech person said type them in...WHOA???? Another had another idea,, but left after awhile and gave me his e-mail address to send for help..
Well, I went on the net by search to SI through AOL.. after wading through all the pop-ups, cartoons, ads, etc.. you name it.. and then then peeked through AOL to the web, reduced on the monitor by all their "cartoon" boundaries.. maybe their is way to get rid of that. I don't know, I gave up...
I got so ticked, I signed up with Worldnet.ATT, went straight to the web, with IE 4.0, had my bookmarks, mail all transferred slick as as a button.. Same price.. fast connection and all.. BTW..AOL's first and sometimes 2nd # was busy the first try on a number of occasions.
My Question.. How can a serious Internet user use AOL??? and therefore how can they keep their market share??
Just asking??? Coug... |
