This is a cute joke that sums up quitting AOL hehehe
THE INTERNET
Q. What, exactly, is the Internet?
A. The Internet is a worldwide network of university, government,
business, and private computer systems.
Q. Who runs it?
A. A 13-year-old named Jason.
Q. How can I get on the Internet?
A. The easiest way is to sign up with one of the popular commercial
"online" services, such as Prodigy, CompuServe, or America Online,
which will give you their program disks for free. Or, if you just
leave your house unlocked, they'll sneak in some night and install
their programs on your computer when you're sleeping. They really
want your business.
Q. What are the benefits of these services?
A. The major benefit is that they all have simple, "user-friendly"
interfaces that enable you - even if you have no previous computer
experience - to provide the online services with the information
they need to automatically put monthly charges on your credit card
bill forever.
Q. What if I die?
A. They don't care.
Q. Can't I cancel my account?
A. Of course! You can cancel your account at anytime.
Q. How?
A. Nobody has ever been able to find out. Some of us have been trying
for years to cancel our online service accounts, but no matter what
we do, the charges keep appearing on our bills. We're thinking of
entering the Federal Witness Protection Program.
