Cambridge, NY | Re: Go figure Same with me. With greater wireless coverage in rural areas, dial-up's becoming passe and AOL can't seem to figure that out.

| Re: Go figure said by ablack6596 :They have figured that out, that's why you're not seeing the coasters anymore...... Yep - same people have been saying AOL should have changed their model before they did - same people who are now saying AOL will die due to their changing their model for the better. In other words - typical hypocrite behaviour. | |

| Re: Go figure said by supergirl :Actually, did you know there is a FREE HSI service for gays? In LA and SF, a CLEC gives free 3 mb DSL service if you are a member of the Gay Organization. Sounds like discrimination. I wonder what would happen if an ISP offered special discounts to only heterosexuals? | |

| Re: Go figure I wonder if they'll wind up next too all those Atari ET Cartridges? Although in Atari's case, ET WAS A good game once you figured out how it worked  .. I saw proof on youtube..
Anyway, back to AOL. I am still holding on to my email address, due to the fact that my grandparents are tied into our account.... but we are no longer paying and choose the free option once it became available.
I've been of AOL for years now.. Ever since Optiumum came to our area around 2001...then Fios year later...God, do I NOT miss the days where a 10 MB movie trailer download took over night to get done.
Kids today are spoiled  | |
