well I guess you have to be told how wrong you are now. If you have aol BB and a router you just set it up in the router and you do not need the browser or software on your pc

or a PPoE driver for your modem then you can just "dial up" with
screenname@aol.com (might be @aol.co.uk)
and your password
dialup number is 0,38 i think

Re: AOL's free laptop
Well I hope this isn't the sign of things to come.
Their wireless router arrived today - without the laptop.
Nothing really unusual about that you might think except the guy who took my parents' order told me the laptop and router would arrive together in the same package.
I guess I should have realised it was a case of "say anything the customer wants to hear to get them to sign up".

Re: AOL's free laptop
That's fine, but when I placed the order I specifically asked if they'd arrive togather.

Re: AOL's free laptop
Ring them back then. Who knows, they might give you a month free or something.

Re: AOL's free laptop
Or in true callcentre style they'll just say ''sorry sir there's no record of you being told that''.

Re: AOL's free laptop
Just called them, guess what?
(In Indian accent) "I am sorry sir but the man should not have told you that. I am sorry there is nothing we can do".
*cue the sound of me rolling my eyes.
