AOL's version of MSIE is an insult to serious websurfers everywhere,
and I wouldn't recommend trying to learn on it either. However, AOL
DID have a version of Netscape (Go to keyword: NETSCAPE, then
download it), which was a little better, but my advice is to not waste
you time with either one of them.

If you MUST keep AOL, do so, but if you intend on spending any quality
Webtime, get a separate ISP, then use the 'real' MSIE or Netscape.
Also, by doing it this way, you can get AOL  for only $9.95/month
unlimited, when you access it through your other ISP (using a TCP/IP
setup). It's a lot easier than it sounds, believe me.
