hi,cow: Of course I haven't talked to all 20mm subscribers, but it seems to me that there are an AWFUL lot of AOL users that are very unhappy with 5.0. I've got a gut feeling that we are going to be sitting at our present level til the end of the summer, when we will start to move upward. I've got one more post, and then I have to leave for work. I'll talk at y'all later. cb

Dear theCow: Wow, that article was scary. I am an unsophisticated AOL user. I started with 3.0. Upgraded later to 4.0 then awhile back to 5.0. I erased 3.0 upon adding 5.0 but left 4.0 in place on advice of the AOL representative. I wouldnt even know how to reformat and all those things the article talked about. I have noticed two things. One I have the built in AOL browser even though I had downloaded the 5.0 seperately. I get the "blue screen" more often than before and twice it hasnt even allowed me to shut down my computer properly. Had to turn off the electrical power then reboot and run scan disk. I guess the only thing that has saved me from worse is I have no other ISP, its a stand alone setup etc. As for the email, biggest problem I have is only allows 1 picture to be downloaded. and does NOT accept any file that says MIME.

What do you mean by "It caused me to have to reformat"? L
