Would you use free AOL software?

[Comraddict]

AOL has became officially free for anybody with internet connection. What that means, is you can use AOL software and content and e-mail like you are their own user. I'm not sure about free availability of advanced options such as spyware scanner.

I'm wondering if anybody finds that useful and is willing to at least try AOL 8.0 or 9.0.

AOL is just bad. Bad, I tell you. My family and I used AOL for a long time, and they still do. I quit about a year ago. AOL is awful, it has an awful user interface, its all about teenagers now, and everything about it annoys me.

I still have AOL currently, and I'm getting rid of it as soon as I can.

Yeah, only if they were the last and only way to get on the net and there were no other connections I could use (like, someone else's house).

Even then I would clean the computer afterwards.

Here is why I wont' use aol software:
Aol tracked their users and published it

if you've used their search engine before, you might want to search this database for terms you searched for and see if you're in there...

I'd use the AOL software... as a frisbee or as a coaster.

Its fun to see the AOL disks burn. Some of the promo ones make pretty flashes when they go up in flames

 

[Comraddict]

What about this ?

Watching the "Who framed Spraychel" commercial is not fun, especially when they turn the volume up just for the commercials and not for the show but at least it's free I guess.

What about this ?

Okay, that redeems AOL a little, but still, no excuse for the 50 farking thousand cd's i got in the mail....
