This here is one of those typical AOL users.

[who knows what evil?]

Just what I need...even MORE AOL junk to throw in the trash when it shows up in my mailbox. (On the other hand; I recall someone saying once that those AOL discs make great clay pigeons...hmmm.)

Yes, bwahhhahahaha,

So why can't I log into hotmail from the MSN homepage? Using IE no less.

[Bush2000]

You know as well as I do its because most AOL users running a Microsoft OS would have trouble finding where their new "back" button is.

What?!? Mozilla doesn't run on a Microsoft OS?!?

[Bush2000]

Yes, bwahhhahahaha, So why can't I log into hotmail from the MSN homepage? Using IE no less.

When people used to tell you, "no, cid. It's not you. It's the software." They lied. It's you.

[Bush2000]

One would think they would use the Netscape browser by now as their integrated online surfing software. After all they do own the company.

AOL isn't a technology company. They're an integrator. They simply don't have what it takes to put together a decent browsing experience.

And here they are putting more money into Bill Gates' pocket with one hand even as they sue him with the other. That's the thing about liberals: they want to have it both ways on just about everything one can name.

Yep. IE sucks so hard but they can't seem to find anything better. It's a wonder those doofuses have gotten this far.

[cidrasm]

No Bushie, it's not me, it's your company's crappy service.

[dtel]

Hear ye, hear ye.
They were my first supplier way back when, never ever again.

[Bush2000]

No Bushie, it's not me, it's your company's crappy service.

Ah ... and there you are, sitting alone in the glow of your monitor using MSN and IE. Ever consider the concept of free will?
