Re: Solid proof that AOL users are idiots?

Never heard of them. Seriously, Apple may have invented the user-friendly interface, but they never had 30 million users who now take it for granted. AOL users by their sheer numbers now have a mountain of influence - certainly much more than we do - and this has to be influencing interface design. I was also not giving AOL credit for inventing anything, merely for mainstreaming it. If you can argue that one, go ahead. Also, if you can give me example of how any of these 30 million bottom-of-the-food-chain users are a detriment to you, let's hear that one too.

Re: Solid proof that AOL users are idiots?

Right on, jscott! We must not forget the 30 million paying customers who keep AIM, Winamp, and various other programs free! Go AOL, AOL users are my favorite pals! (Of course, there are other free programs out there, but the large majority of net users either a) already use AOL, see the 30 million people note as mentioned previously, or b) use the AIM program to in order to communicate with the suckers who foot the bill for AIM, aka AOL users.

Wrong again Honey. Apple did not invent the user interface. Bob Metcalf (the guy who started 3COM) and his bean bag dwelling cohorts at Xerox PARC did it. Whether Apple stole, bought, borrowed or whatever is not in question here. As far as 30 million bottom feeders go, they are the price we pay for having access at all. I mean....someone has to believe these stupid hoaxes. Yeah, it drives our incomes, but it gets disturbing to have to deal with these know nothings as a career.
