It's the way an ISP oughta be. Everyone on AOL already should be there.

It was worth seeing again. I forgot to bookmark it last time. I have to share this little tidbit with the guys I work with.

I am slso glad to see that I am not alone. I was starting to feel bad about how I look down my nose at people who use AOL. :)

Now that's a real ISP. We don't need no steenking setup CD's.

I just love it when I call to setup an account for an ISP and the tech asks me if I want a setup CD, I just return the question "What is this, AOL" :p

Gimme the damn phone number and my login info and let me be on my merry way.

AOL is so bad, that I refuse to work on any internet/email problems that involve it.

When somebody calls me up with internet problems, the first thing I ask them is if they are on AOL, if they say yes, I pretty much tell them that I don't "do" AOL.

I'm sorry, but you don't need a 25 meg program to get on the internet :(

Too bad there are no ISPs like that over here. :(

I hate it when an ISP tries to just send you a setup CD, makes you go through all this crap, wait and wait and wait, etc, and when you do have a problem, because their setup CD is so worthless, you wait for 2 hours on the phone to talk to some buffoon that doesn't end up helping you.

If they just give me their number, my login info, etc, I don't see what else I'll need. There's a real ISP. Probably fast, too.
