I've always avoided AOL like the plague. I don't want to get my internet from someone who forces me to install junk on my computer which is notoriously difficult to remove.

Whether you like AOL or not its part of the web, and as long as AOL doesn’t x the other ¾ of its employees AOL will be around for some time.
