I'm I being paranoid or is AOL trying to take over the world?

No wal-mart is :)

They both fill my mail with junk!

AOL is the biggest pile of steaming crap that masquerades for software I have ever seen.

AOL is sooo easy to use! I just click here......no, wait......maybe it's.....oh c'mon open! how do you get this thing opened?!?! OPEN!!! Application in use? What application? I can't even start this thing!! Reliable my ass....Socket timed out?! What does that mean?!?! GOD I HATE THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America Online...It's fast, it's reliable....it sucks!


...and I agree with the wally-world thing too

I'll admit to using AOL for a while. AOL 4 got me onto the internet when I first bought a puter back in '99. It was a seemingly useful training tool -- kinda like using training wheels when learning to ride a bicycle.
I'll bet the fine folks at Time/Warner rue the day they climbed into bed with AOHell however. Then again, maybe not. AOL just about had a license to print money - what with 26 million users ponying up $20/month or more for the privilege of hearing "you've got mail"!

I hate AOL... They are like the internet NAZI... The thing I hate the most is when someone from AOL sends me a forwarded email... I have to open like 40 windows before I can see the damned thing. Also I hate when I send an email out and everyone from AOL replies saying I cant see the picture. Aol uses an IMAP mail server and everyone else in the world uses a POP mail. Other things I hate it when they kick you off for inactivity... I PAID FOR UNLIMITED USE WHY AM I GETTING KICKED OFF??? Also does anyone have to dial like 25 times to get a 26,000 baud connection?? I dont use aol anymore but my parents and borther still do... IT SUCKS! I cant rant all day about it!
