I've received 4 AOL discs in the mail this past month and ALL of them went immediately into the trash. How stupid is this company. People want speed! Bombarding & irritating people with drink coasters is NOT a good business plan.

the facts prove this beause no further innovations have come from this company.
Any ever did????? Lets see the bought and killed Netscape, the use the IE engine, OK started AIM but made it not necessary to be an AOL subscriber, so so what. (And weren't really far ahead of anyone else... IRC had been around for a decade or more)
Really, what real innovation except making the Internet mindless accessible at excessive prices and a place for the unfettered distribution of viruses, trojans, and worms?

i know you were being sarcastic, but note that there are a few BB providers out there who have $15 and $20 "lite" plans which are still much faster than dialup.

AOLS business model:

Let's flood the market with advertizing but don't actually offer anything new (we will just take the old stuff and add more bloated advertizing to it) and then charge more then anyone else in the market. Surly this will keep us going for decades. How can it fail? Oh... and we won't lift a finger about all the negative feedback this plan causes.

Just another example of Enron and Tyco like CEO's running the ship. They got their million dollar paychecks. But hey, what do I know.

I don't get it. Why don't people want to spend $25 on dial up. It sure beats spending $30 on broadband! We're $5 cheaper! Just look at the savings!

Get rid of this Dinosaur already. Anyone that pays extra for AOL email and Sugar Ray content should not have the right to own a computer anyway...

Hmm, In the popular opinion of many, Like Arafat. AOL is irrelevant, despite what Time Warner wants everyone to believe and the facts prove this beause no further innovations have come from this company... in what like months, and months, maybe a few free songs here and there, but real value. No.. dump Time Warner Stock, this puppy is going downhill from here!
