AOL is nothing but crap. And, just try to terminate your account on their website. They have that info buried so deeply, it is almost impossible to find. I terminated my account seven years ago, and they still send me sign-up discs. Everywhere I go, I see huge bins full of free AOL discs. I hear a lot of people talking about what crap AOL is.

I need to know more about the pitfalls of AOL. 3 months ago, I switched from WEBTV+ to a real computer that provided 6 months of AOL for free. I haven't gotten one piece of spam and not one popup.
I'm in a rural area with antiquated phone lines & with AOL 9.0 optimixed, I'm faster than the gubmint state of the art LAN system at work.
Where am I going wrong here?

You weren't trying hard enough. Just go into one of the homosexual chat rooms with your flamethrower set to "incinerate." Back around 1995 we used to have contests to see who could get an account terminated fastest. My record time was 45 seconds.
