Yeah, this was inevitable now that most people have made the switch to brodband. I've always hated AOL, their browser is complete sh*t, they overcharge people and it's made for old ladies who don't know the first thing about a computer. AIM Triton blows too, that company just all around sucks.
Too many ads, it installs way too much sh*t on your computer, the tabs on the side suck, the windows are too busy, I just hate it.
