I'm using AOL now because I like to "leech" off of the "exclusive" content for some stuff, and because I don't trust IE. Also I hate to inform PIka, but AOL 7.0 in the USA no longer uses the IE6 Plug-in, it's a seperate browser, I found that out after I switched to 7.0 from 6.0 and It's actually a good thing it looks like IE, but it's not IE at all if you try to use the coding for IE, so they've already changed it in the USA, Also, because I'm on AOL I can buy alot of $#*! online at a discount for AOL members, especially at Target's website, which is where I got an Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber from SW: Episode II after every store in my area ran out, so that extra $15 a month for CableAOL is worth it.
If you do keep it, besure to use the extra crap they send you, occasionally you can get somehting good from places like Amazon and the wonderful Hell that is eBay even, I use it because I know someone who comapred AOL 6.0 to 7.0 and the first shock he got was that it no longer used IE in the USA, so I'm keeping it, besides 7 screen-names under one accoutn ain't bad, even with the 50 million pop-ups at sign off, which I'm able to block with ZA PRO, oh, and did I mention I got MacCaffe VirusSacn for a Discount from AOL? VirusScan was a program I needed anyway so that was good for me, I've gotten so much stuff from AOL it ain't fuuny, and it's actually worht the coasters they send in the mail, Pika I'm still waiting for thse book-ends.
Also AOL owns WinAMP, which is my MP3 player of choice, so I'll be keeping AOL for awhile, at leasr until the make another deal with the evil empire and decide to use IE again, since I'm already stuck with IE, AOL is actually a safer alternitave, espeically for e-mail instead of Cablevision's Outlook Express e-mail which is a crapy pain in the @$$ to begin with.
