John,

I just had someone ask me if I wasnted the AOL diskette they got in the
mail yesterday to use on my IIe (sigh).  They are still at it. 

I still feel that most AOL users are newbys or dense, from the hourly
charges to the bad service it is a loosing situation.  Almost any ISP with
a local POP can give a better deal.  In time, hopefully, these folks will
migrate to the many good ISP's out there.
