Thats AOL instant messenger, and yes, i'm bored as all hell today.

my handle is h0liday1976 (the 0 is a zero, not an O). Feel free to drop me a line if you're as bored as I am. I'm online mostly all the time.

Hellz No!!!!

AOL is the work of Satan!

90% of the software-related issues I am asked to resolve for folks are due to AOL.

Look for me on YIM! :mrgreen:

Whats the difference? Its still a giant advertisement/marketing tool disguised as a communication service.

Are they adding text ads with every message now? Or is it still only half the window taken up by graphic ads? I can't keep up.
