it may look at like a good deal, but you will pay for it as you would have an extended contract etc and higher prices over the course of the contract.

I would use a cheaper ISP and buy a cheapo laptop seperatly

I'm not paying for anything, my parents are

They got it in to their heads that AOL are the ones for them. I thought I might as well benefit

Might be a good option. I think you have to have the same size memory module in each slot.

I've been using a Dell inspiron for a week now with Vista on with 2gig of ram and its running perfectly so far, although it's a higher spec model.

hi, free laptop from aol but you will be a talktalk customer and get alot of traffic shaping. the same deal with the laptop applies to talktalkbusiness customers for same cost and no traffic shaping. so same cheap laptop and much more bb usage.
btw, i noticed someone talking about a norton removal tool, any links (i cant find any complete norton removal tool newer that 2k4 version)

Callumpy - you obviously have no idea what you're talking about...

Lean anything at school today?

Edit - Sorry - bit of a late reply there...

Unnecessary reply as well.

The subject of this thread was AOL, not whether a member should be a school or not.

SamH182 · 05-12-2007, 22:00

Does anybody know how long it takes to recieve the laptop after recieving the router?

I believe your broadband needs to be enabled before the laptop is sent...

Yeah - sorry about that...but Vista does work on Dell PC's / Laptops.

SamH182 · 05-12-2007, 23:28

Vista will run on a minimum of 512mb ram and recommended of 1gb ram.
Seeing as the DELL has 1gb ram, It should run great with home basic.

Errr - hang on....you come to a forum dedicated to Virgin Cable and you are trying to sell AOL???

Isn't that like trying to sell snow to an Eskimo?

What's your commission on the deal? ROFL!

AOL is not as bad as it used to be, but is still a pretty useless ISP for the most part from experience

Ive never liked how you have to either use their browser or use the AOL dialler if you want to use internet explorer or firefox!

I hate it
