OMG AOL IS MADE FOR LPEOPLE THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO USE COMPTUERS RIGHT AND IT COMES WITH SHI[Y PCS LIKE DELLS ( DUDE UR GETIN A DEL!!!) AND COMPAQS AND HEWLET RETARTDS I HATE AOL MAN IT SUCKS.
AOL is just as fast as any dialup ISP I have ever used, you are free to use IE, it has a pretty decent e-mail client, busy signals are rare, disconnects happen, but that happens on any dialup ISP. AOL is not the devil. Just because it isn't designed for tweakers and hackers like yourselves doesnt mean it's horrible.
