Wow! I remember leaving AOL, at least 4 years ago...
I finally cancelled my account, only to have some arsehole re-open it and proceed to run up a huge bill on it. I would have found this quite difficult cause I formatted my computer to get rid of the horrible AOL 4 beta that I was stuck with! Eventually, they re-closed the account and we haven't herd from them since. Personally I think the only good thing about AOL is winamp, and I'd rather pay for that than have to live with the knowledge that I am using AOL softare
Although I do love winamp...
Cheers
Andrew
