As much as I hate AOL, for some reason that picture conjured up fond memories. I go to great lengths to keep any and all AOL software off my computer, at all costs. To this day, I've yet to find a mainstream (antiquated, yes, but still mainstream) program which wreaks such havoc on a perfectly good computer. So its safe to say I don't want that crap anywhere near my BB. Side note: If any of you have old machines lying around that you really, really don't care about, you should try installing AOL software on it, just to see how messed up it gets. That software gets into EVERY facet of the OS, in ways hard to imagine, and harder yet to remove. Wow. As much as I hate AOL, for some reason that picture conjured up fond memories.
