Jon,
I understand totally- Most of the time I bypass AOL altogether and go
straight for Internet Explorer, but here in England- unlike USA (which a lot
of you folks out there don't realise), the internet is really, REALLY
EXPENSIVE!! and AOL was the cheapest at the time (£15 per month- for my
girlfriend anyway- let alone me!- a possible option is BTInternet but all
these copanies are doing their upmost best to rip us off immensely just to
get on to broadband- I'm not really bothered with BB because if I need a
speedy transfer, I'll do it from work. (I'm still on a really old 33kbd modem
btw!!).
Well I couldn't get Ask Jeeves just a minuite ago- solid proof that AOL have
the market clinched in this country- its now 5:20pm and the line is slowgo
all the way- those pesky kids!!
Any English suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Tom :-)
