Agreed. Loved 3.0-5.0 used it all the time and was my basic introduction to the world of the internet socially and entertainment wise |

| AOL should be defined as a Virus 3,4,and, 5 were great?...have you ever tried to remove them? That crap was everywhere in the registry. However AOL did one thing for me....it got me into the habit of wiping clean the hard drive of every pc I bought. Now I just build my own desktops, but I still wipe new laptops.
Someday after Armageddon around 2 million years from now, the future cavemen will still be digging up AOL discs!

New Orleans, LA | I honestly never did because I always used them.
When I left AOL and went with broadband, I got a new computer because my old one died
So no, I never had the removal issue |

| formatting your computer is one of those things i do every 6 months.. tends to freshen things up.
S_engineer is right though, if you don't want to deal w/ crapware just learn to build your desktop machines.

AOL is what could be called Digital Kudzu.
This is an application which places small files in every nook and cranny of a computer's OS. Any attempt at removal leaves some bits and pieces behind, which then forever (barring a reformat) interfere with other processes or applications .
