AOL has broadband. Where were you, anyway, you didn't post for a
couple of hours? I thought something happened to you. It's so nice
to keep in touch over the internet.

Do they provide the ISDN/DSL/Ccable-modem - or do you have to subscribe
to
a
*different* broadband provider (insight, comcast, verizon) and then
subscribe to the AOL broadband service? Sounds like even more money
than
just regular broadband to me...

All that just so that the idiot AOLers can have their Mickey Mouse
AOL interface. :)

You also get protection against all the dangers of the internet...
spam, worms, viruses, chat-room predators, etc. Haven't you seen that
TV commercial where the colored guy dumps condiments all over the
white guy's food tray in the cafeteria? The colored guy represents
all the dangers, and the white guy represents the average suburban
type who lives in a state of perpetual fear. It's quite convincing.
I would certainly move up to AOL if I could afford it.


What they call "protection" anyone with half a brain can
provide for themselves, free of charge. As you know, Mrs.
tongue-in-cheek. :) The price of freedom is responsibility.
