I just got this on my AOL acct:


Dear AOL Pictures User:


We are sorry to inform you that, as of December 31, 2008, AOL will no
longer provide the AOL Pictures online photo service. We sincerely
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.


They are also dropping FTP support (web sites)


I guess I will have a different Email address soon. I have had this
one for about 15 years.


me too!. I've been with them since '97


Somehow, that figures.


Well, yes, Tom. I've ket the account around and have rarely used it. I
still get ebay notices on it, and AOL has tried to clean up
considerably, but their still in failure mode.


I'll say this, when I first got in the internet in '97 I was dumb as a
box of rocks, and am very little smarter now.

And to their credit AOL was helpful. The I realized there were other
options out there.

So...
