I wish they would layoff 100% of the entire company...

So now they're down to 9 employees?

thought they went out with dial-up...

No they offer broadband, or well... limited Verizon DSL with their crappy browser program. My mother loves the damn browser and since she DOES pay most of the bills....

lol @ aol-ite

Anyways its not surprising that they are having layoff's. Even if the economy was strong they really aren't needed anymore and always have been sort of a joke.

So now they are down to about 6300 employee's. This should probably be around a 2:1 employee to customer ratio. At least customers service probably wont suffer becuase of the layoffs.

I cant believe they are still kicking. Maybe if they didn't send me a CD with their crappy software about 12 times a week, they might have more money to avoid some of these layoffs.

AOL still has about 8 million paying dial-up members, bringing in close to a billion in NET revenue every year. They also have over 100 million AIM users worldwide. I won't even get into how AOL has some of the top sites out there (engadget, money.aol.com, fanhouse.com). Its funny how you all make comments when you obviously are extremely ignorant.
