ended up just buying a new computer. circuit city is a bunch of crack heads btw.

I figured I would hit up aol for thier free trial until I can get off the dial up and onto the dsl.

If you are persuasive, you can call up AOL to cancel, and they will give you free months just to stay on. I've seen people get more than a year of free internet service.

The advantage is, AOL doesnt make their primary revenue off subscriptions anymore, its the ads. One benefit to having you on as a member, is more clicks to their ads, which is what they want. They couldn't care less about the 20 or so bucks a month, they make much more off ad exposure, and selling your information to other companies.

I say try to milk it!

I have AOL. I've had it for 6 years now. Way back when 3.0 was around.

What kinda "service" do you have? Everyone always says that they pay 25 bucks a month for it, while I get 15/mo for unlimited use. Although, I'm still on DialUp.

Thats a long time. I had AOL a long ass time ago, when it was one of ony a few ISPs in Oregon. I signed up for it in 1994 or so, it was a DOS client on 3.5" floppy. I actually had [email protected] for about 2 years. Pretty nuts!

I guess I've been a nerd for a long ass time. Anyone here remember the BBS

Those were the good old days, dialing in at 2400 baud. Back when a 256 color nude picture took you at least 15-20 minutes to download. You kids these days are spoiled, I tell ya.
