I have a few things to say about AOL. ---  How do I love thee?, let me count
the ways.   First off, that annoying voice.  I have heard it for years.  He
sounds like my dentist. How about changing the voice once in a while. Be a
little creative.  How about Rodney Dangerfield? (Welcome, You've got mail! You
don't deserve it ya know) Or, how about one of them smooth talking folks from
that "Witchtig" board. (Welcome, You got mail, you stupid illiterate
$%#@#@#$#!, take it and @#$%^&*$! and %$#$#@ it with your dog $%$$#$ you!" 
Something different, anything.---- They have been booting me off about every 20
min in the last few months. Probably will get dumped before I am done typing
this. Do you run enough ads AOL? AND, NO! I do not want AOL broadband!.  So
stop with that in my face all the time!  Double the money, double the speed,
double the trouble?   We can read twice as many ads in half the time?   And no!
 I do not want another account! Stop with that too! One is more than enough.
Oh, and how about some more pictures? Are you assuming your members like to
look at the pictures?  How about giving your style a little more substance?  Do
you think that "bigger" means "better"  I have 8.0 loaded in now. One half of
my hard drive is devoted to AOL.  Can't wait to see what you have planned for
9.0!!   How about some more pictures?  The best part of AOL is the email. 
1---Type in your user name and hit the "sign on" button.    2---Fix yourself a
cup of coffee.    3--- Return to your computer, you should be signed on by now.
    4---Avoid impacting keyboard with head as you are immediately signed off.  
  5---After selecting the message at the top of your email list, hit the
"delete" button approximately 78 times to get rid of the "enlarge your penis"
and all the other junk mail.      6-- Begin to write your email.    7-- Again,
try to avoid pounding your head on your keyboard as you are signed off halfway
through your message.    8-- Start rewriting , hit "save" after every
paragraph.     9--- Try not to punch your monitor as AOl informs you that your
computer has performed an illegal operation and signs you off again.    10---
Write your email in "Notepad" (Thanks for the tip Tendera).      11---Copy your
text.     12---Bring up AOL email.    13--Paste your message in the email box. 
   14-- Scream and curse because your computer has frozen up.      15--Taking a
cue from the "Dixie Chicks", take all 300 AOL CD's that you have received in
the mail and throw them out the window into the road like little "Frisbees" or,
just use them as coasters.   I do not understand why I give them $23.95 a
month.   Maybe I am too lazy to change my address book?  Maybe I am just fond
of some folks that suffer with me?   I also enjoy sticking pins in my eyes and
burning the bottom of my feet with matches too, so......
