Why AOL suck...

[jimmyhaha]

hahaha

<Employees of the old Time Warner, already resentful of their corporate bosses at AOL, saw the imposition of AOL?s e-mail as corporate arrogance. When computers crashed in the Washington bureau of Time magazine due to the e-mail software, staffers sometimes sung out, ?So easy to use, no wonder it?s number one,? an ironic reference to America Online?s ad slogan.>

i plead the 5th..


actually--- i cant say AOL sucks completely, becuase when i'm at home instead of at school, Dialup AOL is my only method of getting online- becuase my parents suck. Only alternative is Netzero-- which sucks also.

If AOL was any good I wouldn't have left it 7 years ago.

BTW, they make it very difficult to "unsubscribe".

i think the appropiate response is "get a rope."

Among the problems cited: The e-mail software frequently crashed, staffers weren?t able to send messages with large attachments, they were often kicked offline without warning, and if they tried to send messages to large groups of users they were labeled as spammers and locked out of the system. Sometimes, e-mails were just plain lost in the AOL etherworld and never found. And if there was an out-of-office reply function, most people couldn?t find it.

Bwahhhhaahahahaha

Serves them right...

AOL works for millions of people which I guess is at least makes it tolerable
