AOL jumped the shark about 10 years ago, IMHO. It was a nice idea in the days of CompuServe (which it swallowed up), and Prodigy (remember that?). But anyone with a lick of sense ought to know AOL's baaaaaad.

Ah, the good old days!

I used Prodigy. LOL! Also went through AO hell.

Thanks for posting the article. Glad to see it's finally being equated with malware.

My first computer was a Packard Bell 66Mhz 486 with a 420 MB hard drive Circuit City special and it came packaged with Prodigy.

I received an AOL floppy in the mail and signed up, the next day I dropped them and the guy on the phone was an a$$hole and hemmed and hawed about my dropping AOL.
