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...
