Default AOL. The devil?

Ah, yes. Back in the day when the internet was still new, and you needed additional software to run it. I had AOL. It was okay back then. But eventually, other things came around. Then the nightmare began.

Have you ever tried to cancel your subscription with these people? It's a HUGE project. They kept charging me for over two months after our account was "Cancelled". I have Comcast now, and am very happy with it But gah... Those are some terrible people.

Anyways, this video reminded me of that. So you should watch it.

We had AOL back like 8 years ago. I didn't even use the computer. When I got to Jr high we got DSL. I don't even remember using AOL internet, I was like 10 at the time. I work at the helpdesk for the university's computer department and someone actually called in last week with a problem with the dial in lines. The university has free dial in lines for dial-up internet, but I was surprised people actually use that.
