I like this board and the great bunch of people here the best. But I just checked and I didn't have any trouble connecting to the BNO board using AOL. You may just be experiencing a temporary routing problem.

Post by: Clarke Echols on August 14, 2006, 07:30:33 AM: I *HATE* AOL!

I had a collection-agency business a couple of years ago, and the manager's son was always
sneaking in and installing "free" AOL, even though we had a reliable ISP. The (expletives deleted)
AOL software coming from AOL replaced a DLL file on the PC we used, and when he'd uninstall
it to "cover his tracks", other software no longer worked until I went out and found a replacement
download to correct the problem.

A real ISP does not require *****ANY***** special software. My opinion of AOL is that it is the
sewer of internet providers -- sort of like CB radio users as viewed by competent ham radio guys.
(I haven't been an active ham since the 1960s.)

Then there was that ridiculous lawsuit AOL raised against Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft (I think
that's who was involved) when I worked at HP in the 1990s. AOL was claiming that their "You've
Got Mail" thingy was theirs and nobody else could use that. Hell -- "You have mail" was on Unix
machines long before AOL was even a gleam in their founder's eye. I know. I was on the internet
before Al Gore even knew what it was. And AlBore had the audacity to state on CNN that he "led
the effort in the creation of the internet". The internet was invented in the 1970s before he
even went to congress.

Which leads to my solution to "global warming" (a questionable myth, at best): Put a plug in
Hillary, Al, Bill, John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy. Removing those bags of hot air from society would
eliminate more "heat" than all of the CO2 produced by humans, world-wide. I get really tired of
those parasites living high off of the public treasury instead of getting off of their high horses and
getting a "real job" somewhere in the real world. Yeah, I know -- there are some in the opposing
party too... I just have no tolerance for fools who insist on carrying out their foolishness in public
at public expense.

Bus nuts are another matter. There is good reason to call them nuts, but they're decent guys.
They share. They work. They're not stuck-up, stiff shirts. And they're self-reliant, not looking
for govamint to bail them out or creating others dependent on them so they can maintain power
and control.

OK -- enough rant for now.

However, I some what agree. WOW. I really said it. ;D

Ok, Who wants the soap box? Go ahead, I have my bullet proof suit on. ;D

I agree with pretty much everthing you said and I it sounds like we are well aligned (and much maligned) on political views.

As for AOL, I have always despised them for many of the same reasons as you. But my cable ISP doesn't provide dial up access for the road. >:( I tried several dial up ISP's and couldn't get descent connection speeds. It is bad enough going from 7Mbs to 56Kbs but the other carriers all wanted to connect at speeds ranging from 22-33K. Once it even connected at 12K. I would call their tech people and they would blame the phone lines, my modem, my cord, everything but their end. Finally, although I too hated AOL, I installed their free trial and instantly was connecting at 51K+. I still don't like them, but until I get a mobile broadband solution (definitely a part of my plan), I need to connect as fast as I can on dial up.
