Re: [PLUG] AOL in Linux


Considering the, seemingly intentional, obstacles for using AOL under Linux or a router (Put another way: Obstacles for using AOL under anything other than Windows and AOL software.), I feel compelled to comment on this. You can get videos anywhere on the Internet. Live technical help; what do you use it for? Try becoming accustomed to the true layout of the Web and the Internet. Forget about that AOL garbage!

The commercials for AOL Broadband sound nice on the surface. Spam filtering, virus scanning, and...that's all I can thing of right now. But the price, both control wise and price wise, is too high for me.

Just out of curiosity, what "features" do you not want to give up?
