I am now getting and sending all of my e-mail through APK, and I'm
really satisfied with the service. I used to be on AOL, and I was
having a huge ton of disconnects from the system while trying to write
and send e-mail. After I composed a message, I would try to send it,
and after a minute or two, AOL would cut the connection without sending
the message. Then I would have to click "send later" so that it would
be saved in memory. Then- after being logged off by AOL, I would find
that their software failed to hangup my modem, so I'd have to exit
Windows and turn off my computer to make the modem hang-up. Then turn
it back on, wait for it to go back into Windows, and then into AOL,
dial in and try to send the messages, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME THING
OCCURE AGAIN. I've been round in circles for the past 6 months with the
AOLTech people trying to have this kept to a minimum. It got so bad
last month that I QUIT!
APK is taking good care of my e-mail needs now.
I applied for an account at Compuserve an entire month ago, and after
all of this time, I'm still waiting to be contacted by them to find out
whether they're going to give me the account and issue me a password.
I've faxed them and called them, but have not heard back from anyone
yet. They have my address, e-mail, and FAX. I might just write to
Compuserve and tell them to "F" their system! It doesn't appear as
though they want my business. I can't understand why they're taking so
long to decide whether to approve of my account application.
As far as I'm concerned, APK can get all of my business.
Sincerely, Dale
