isn't the cost factor enough ? aol for $23 or $24 a month PLUS the cost of
DSL ?
the real question is, do you take advantage of any of the AOL produced
content ?
if you do not, then i believe the parental controls may be the only reason,
but there is other software for that too.
i first got AOL in '94. had it for about 6 months, then went to a simple
ISP and never looked back. the one thing i really dislike about AOL is
there software. but then again, basically, that's really all AOL is,
software. i was helping out a friend the other day, needed to d/l Adaware,
which took over 6 and a half minutes on dial-up, and that was after waiting
for everything that AOL loads after a connection is made.
just curious, how many copies of AOL do you have on your pc right now ?
