Now when these idiots had to pay for cable modem or dsl service AND ON TOP OF THAT pay $12/month for "AOL for Suckers," they were outraged. But in reality, AOL is dying. It's basically dead. There is a REASON they changed their name from AOL Time Warner back to just Time Warner. AOL made a lot of money in it's rise from a small BBS to a glorified BBS with web + e-mail, but it's "niche", if you can call it that, is gone. Who needs AOL when you can just get a cable modem/dsl and use the internet to meet your e-mail/chat/etc needs? Anyone who still thinks AOL provides VALUED ADDED services needs to screw their head on straight. ]]> 420403@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Aug 2006 17:13:46 EDT
