    LOL, this quote from a subscriber that didn't even have a computer made my day. BJ


    "I kind of thought it was like subscribing to the yellow pages," said Lewen. "We kept getting copies of the phone book, so I thought AOL was doing that. I also wanted the virus protection, because it was flu season."

    Just saw an article that AOL/Time Warner is in settlement talks with the SEC to pay a $750 million settlement to cover fines, etc. for overstating revenues. Must be connected to those 40% without computers.....
    If life was simple then it would be no fun.

    My local gun club is happily receiving any and all "cast-off" AOL CD's. We use them in place of clay-pigeons on our skeet and trap range.

    As an added bonus, they fly more erratically than a standard clay, don't know whether it's the shape or the content of the CD...

    You can PM me for physical address, but we're only interested in quantity.
    Various Windows and Linux platforms...
