Aljorma:

I downloaded AOL 5.0 last night and was cruising about twice the regular speed, either within AOL or in the web. At first, I thought that the higher speed was due to low traffic at 3:00 a.m., but now using it at 9:36, it is still faster than 4.0. Guess the soft developers streamlined the code?

Did you check "you got pictures," and "my calendar"? Both of them are very useful, and I already jot down some events on my calendar. That's the beauty of the net, isn't, that I can schedule events at home, travel 3500 miles on the road, and recall them at will.

Will continue posting my review of AOL 5.0 later. So far looks good.

I suspect that aol's version of ie is improved. Their version of ie was well known to be one of the worst browsers in the business. I am also experiencing faster surfing. Hope it's not just placebo cure.
Looks fine so far. If anyone reading this has high speed access, let us know about the new things designed for xdsl and cable users.( getting cable next week)
