True, however, AOL is busily upgrading the windoze software but I don't
see anything for the mac. Mac version 2.6 was a cobbled together "update"
to shut up the Mac users. The windoze version has a better web browser,
support for members web pages, etc. In the past few weeks, Steve Case has
discussed the upcoming upgrade to the windoze version but hasn't said
anything about a Mac version. Also, while AOL dropped the A2 version
(citing its non-graphical interface) it has KEPT the MeSsy DOS version!
Can't get Bill upset!
