In my opinion, AOL is a waste of cash. I _hate_ that damn windowing system.

It's WINDOWS. What do you expect?

I got some offer for a free trial. I realized that I had to skip it

and is only 2400 anyway...no advantage to our FreeNet.

IMO, all the big commercial services are a waste of cash. They make you
pay for a lot of (useless) fluff.
