I disagree. AOL is now and always was terrible (when I say "is now", keep in mind I haven't used AOL in forever, so that assertion is mere speculation). And everything that was said about being forced down America's throat and the use of guerilla tactics to make it impossible to cancel the service are totally true. Even when I was forced to use it in the dawn of the internet era, I recognized it for the crap it was. With the smilies, the cheesy graphics and the content created for the least common denominator. You've Got Mail, indeed.
