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


When I realized there was some REAL ISP's and AOL wasn't it, it took
me forEVER to fire them. They will offer you months of free service,
anything to keep you and make it very hard to quit them.- Hide quoted text -

I know. When they came up witht heir "free ediotion" the wife and I
signed up on it, and refused any more payments from her credit card,
just to make sure they still didn't try to tap the funds. So far, so
good.

I still get tickled when I go to the grocery store, and there's tubs
full of AOL software cd's. (get an AOL acct, and get 100 hr's free)
Hoping they'll snag you and you'll love 'em so much you won't want to
cancel because you didn't know how you could have lived without 'em!


crock!
