  Is this an admission that AOL is for the computer illiterate?

   AOL is the target because AOL drips incompetent childish morons from 
every pore.  I don't know why--that's just the way it is.  Perhaps their 
marketing attracts them.
   Have to agree on CIS and Prodigy--CIS wants a pound of flesh every 
time you burp, and Prodigy is so goddamn ugly it could curdle milk.

: Amigas Rule. Anime rules. AOL rules. Elitism SUCKS. 

   Amiga is dead.  Amiga has no forseeable future.  Cower before the 
world's fastest personal computer--the MACINTOSH.  (Or the most populist, 
the PC, or the most technically solid, UNIX.)  Heck, just cower in general.
   AOL is a piece of trash.  Using it is almost like being castrated--if 
you don't know any better you may think nothing's missing, but the rest 
of us know better.  Hell, look at the moronic way text from previous 
posts gets quoted in AOL posts.  What thumb-up-his-ass idiot thought of 
that?
