| I hope he gets sued. I've said it before - those of us at the top of the IT food chain benefit from AOL's 30 million in many ways. They keep up the demand for broadband or even just plain bandwidth, they have driven the usability standards in software over the last 8 years, and they keep the computer industry mainstream enough that some of us can make a living in it. Bandwidth and computer parts would not be cheap if it was just a million or so hackers buying it. Lay off them - they have their purpose. | |

| | | | | Anon | 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. | |

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 agree with you, but as one of the article links mentioned, some people got the warning from people they know, like their sister or brother. So maybe somebody along the line was "idiotic", but they ended up making it look valid.
I think the hoax itself turned into a nasty virus. Again, better safe then sorry. So what if somebody deleted aol.exe and reinstalled.

| Re: Solid proof that AOL users are idiots? Ok, so the AOL users are catching all kinds of slack for this one, and on one side, I feel kinda sorry for them. But, then again, some part of me wants to just scream at people who can't catch a joke about such obvious factors as deleting your main AOL executable file -- and I might even give a few rank beginners this one, but if you don't know what aol.exe is, maybe you should sign up for a computer course before jumping on the Internet...it's much safer! -- or this line in the so-called hoax:
WARNING: KEEPING THIS FILE ON THE SYSTEM AFTER JUNE 8 WILL COST YOU $2.90 MORE PER MONTH!
FAILURE TO REMOVE THIS FILE WILL KEEP YOUR "UPPER MEMORY MANAGEMENT" MODULE OF YOUR INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT (IQ OVER 85) BLOCKED. DELETING AOL.EXE WILL FREE YOUR IQ TO GO ABOVE 85!!!
DELETING THIS FILE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SPELL CORRECTLY AND USE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROPERLY.
Ok, tell me now this isn't an obvious joke.... I'll forgive a few users a lack of computer-saavy, but for cryin out loud! READ an e-mail before you panic...if it's a joke or a hoax, it will give itself away. I can't feel sorry for people who failed to read this line and decided to screw up their own ISP connection. | |

| One of the things that drives me (and Ray) crazy about AOL users is their complete inability to read and follow directions. So isn't it sort of delicious irony that they up and figured out how to do it when the instructions were fake? I feel no pity for these people - even if they did delete the file, they'll be getting a new one when AOL sends out its next round of discs. Society spends too much time coddling idiots instead of making them figure out how to do it themselves. Ray is one of my personal heros, out there fighting in the name of everyone who still knows how to think for themselves. | |

If someone is subscribed to jokeaday, they should know by now that 1) Everything Ray does or sends out is a JOKE, and 2) He gives AOL a lot of crap.

Ray clearly states that his site is irreverent, will poke fun at anything and anyone, is not for the super-sensitive and is clearly a JOKE list! That said, why would anyone take any of his mailings as gospel?
In defense of AOL:
AOL has its purpose. Remember the days when a Radio was complicated to operate? When you strung antenna wire up your walls and out a window to get reception? When it was not a matter of simply flipping a switch and listening?
Remember when you couldn't program a VCR? And some of you still can't?
This is where AOL is a boon to novice computer and internet users. It does all the "hard stuff" for them, not requiring that they know one thing about the subject except how to flip a switch.
The tragedy of AOL users is that most of them never outgrow the training wheels. They prefer not expending any effort (or, are maybe incapable of learning) to learn how to do it themselves.
I used AOL when it first entered the scene many years ago right about the time I graduated from a TRS80 color Computer III to a PC. Two months was all it took for me to learn the basics of doing it myself an moving on to another ISP.
I will always be grateful that AOL was there when I needed it.
I now help other people set up their computers and troubleshoot the problems they have, but my knowledge took effort and interest to learn. Most AOLers don't want to bother.

@65.101.x.x
| I started online when there was only FidoNETs and other such BBS (Bulletin Board Systems). Compuserve was the first National BBS as far as I'm aware, then along comes America Online (AOL). They were, and still are, a BBS. Their internet access option is only a gateway. In the early days, they did not even have this gateway. And only about 20% of the members even use it.
My point is that I see Steve Case and AOL as followers, not leaders. In my opinion, they are only in business because of the timing, and the volunteers which helped build it. Mr. Case turned his back on these same volunteers once the size of AOL was large enough marketing engine. And from that point on, AOL started mass recruiting and developing itself as a solution for the Marching Morons of this world. It had its chance to be something greater at one time, but Mr. Case took it upon himself to abandon the strong community that was being built for the sake of his own profit, which I believe is why it is the irresponsible abomination it is today.
One last thought for those of you that refer to AOL as "training wheels"....would you let a child/novice go out by themselves in mainstream traffic with training wheels still on and no idea about the rules of the road? | |

Apparently you don't take lightly to people bashing your isp of choice.The isp's in my area have no problems keeping up with what they have and seem to be able to handle more from all the advertising i see locally by them.And yes my DSL is quite nice if i do say so myself.So stop your whiny aol'ish attitude with me little boy.And if i irritate you,well ummm

| From the Creator of the AOL.EXE Virus
One of my loyal readers of Joke A Day who WASN'T fooled (because he had more than two brain cells to rub together) over the "AOL.EXE virus" wrote me to let me know this forum was out here.
How cool.
Several of my readers had concern for me being sued. Please. If I had a dime for every time I've had a lawsuit threatened, I wouldn't need to be running a joke site. I'd be sipping strawberry daiquiris off of Sarah Michelle Geller's belly button in my palatial estate on Maui.
As I explained to one letter writer, AOL is out no money at all. Sadly, THEY can't sue me. While having this covered by CNET was nice publicity, a lawsuit from AOL would bring all kinds of notoriety.
But, think about it. There was only 3 states a person could be in when they read about the AOL.EXE virus:
1. They're not an AOL customer and didn't have AOL.EXE on their system. Nothing could have happened.
2. They're not an AOL customer and DID have AOL.EXE on their system (for whatever reason). They delete it and still AOL isn't out any money.
3. They ARE an AOL customer, DID (of course) have AOL.EXE, deleted it . . . and AOL *still* has collected the subscriber fee.
In fact, in the case of state 3, I actually saved AOL some money. The boneheads aren't using up bandwidth at a blistering 9600 bps.
Anyway, let 'em sue. Here's how I imagine it'd go:
Lawyer 1: Your Honor, I'm suing Mr. Owens for intentional damage to my property.
Lawyer 2: Your Honor, I'm suing because I couldn't get to my "Ambulance Chasing Tips" chat room.
Judge: How could either of you misunderstand this paragraph: "FAILURE TO REMOVE THIS FILE WILL KEEP YOUR 'UPPER MEMORY MANAGEMENT' MODULE OF YOUR INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT (IQ OVER 85) BLOCKED. DELETING AOL.EXE WILL FREE YOUR IQ TO GO ABOVE 85!!!" Do you not know what IQ is?
Lawyer 1: Yes, your Honor, I know what IQ is, but this computer stuff is way beyond me. Who knows what an "upper memory management module" is?
Judge: You're not competent enough to understand computer terms, but you're competent enough to *sue* over computer terms?
Lawyer 2: Let me just say for the record, your Honor, that I have fourteen people working in my office and I don't have to know what computer terms are. I have a very powerful laptop my IS people gave me that has only two knobs. When I'm ready for a new screen, I just hold it upside down and shake it until the old screen clears off.
Lawyer 1: Your Honor, it's up to people who are in a position of trust to not mislead others.
Judge: You always do what Mr. Owens says?
Lawyer 1: Always, your honor, without fail.
Lawyer 2: Can I go to the bathroom?
Judge: If you always do what Mr. Owens says, why aren't you on his premium subscription lists? Or his party list? He told you to sign up for 'em. He told you to click on the ads and you didn't do that, either.
Lawyer 1: Your Honor, Mr. Owens *said* this was *very* important. He said to *pay attention*. So, that's different than all of that stuff *he* want us to do. He didn't *say* that other stuff was important.
Lawyer 2: Your Honor, I really can't hold it much longer.
Judge: Oh, because Mr. Owens didn't say the other stuff was important, you chose to ignore it. Why?
Lawyer 1: Because it's a *joke* list, your Honor. No one takes anything on a *joke* list seriously.
Lawyer 2: Oh shit.
Lawyer 1: Oh, man, I blew it.
Lawyer 2: No, really. I think I just shit.
Judge: Case dismissed.
