I used to be on AOL dialup, and it has to be said, it was the worse service ever and the software takes over your PC like a rash.

Re: Useful info for people running AOL
 

AOL is for people who don't understand the internet. Period. No sane person would ever want that crap near their machine.

Agreed with Scrotnig! Rep :D. When I had it I hated it, the only reason we had it was because it was the only thing we could afford, you can get so much more for your money now, youre paying for the crap software.

By far the most pc's I get to work on/fix have AOL on them. So I say keep it up AOL ;):D

To be honest, when I had AOL dial-up, I never had any problems with the software. Just getting connected using an NTL phone* was the problem.

* There was only two numbers (for me anyway) you could use on a NTL line, while there were loads for BT.

Re: Useful info for people running AOL
 

Weren't you on AOL at some point? :p:

Re: Useful info for people running AOL
 

Nope - never been THAT far over to the dark side. I used to be on tiscali. :)

edit - unless you're on about Electrolyte - in which case I have no idea.

Re: Useful info for people running AOL
 

I was replying to Electro but still, that's comforting to know that one less person in the world has never been on AOL. :D

Re: Useful info for people running AOL
 

Never touched AOL. Always and only been on NTL since their free dial up was out.
