Ok, I'm considering selling my Mac's soul to the great Satan of the internet ... purely for pragmatic reasons, I have to go back on dial-up after we move house (rural exchange, not ADSL-enabled, unlikely to be so for some time) and money is going to be tight, and AOL do a two month free trial.

I know that AOL/PC royally smegs up the machine with extra software, but does anybody know what the Mac OS X version does? Are there any web services, in particular .Mac, and .Mac related tools like iDisk, Homepage and POP acces to .Mac mail, that are likely to be unhappy with AOL?
