HA! AOL is going to quit photo hosting
 
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.

The good news is that AOL has partnered with American Greetings®
PhotoWorks® to enable continued access to your pictures through the
PhotoWorks service. PhotoWorks provides unlimited free storage, just
like AOL Pictures, as well as a variety of options for making
creations and sharing your photos. You can access your images on
PhotoWorks simply by providing your screen name and password to
register for a free American Greetings PhotoWorks account. Register
for PhotoWorks now.

While we recommend the American Greetings PhotoWorks option, you may
also:

* Download your photos to your computer using a new tool that will
enable you to quickly save multiple images and albums; or
* Purchase a DVD archive of your images. Please note there is a
charge for the DVD archive based on the number of images you select.


It is important that you take action no later than December 31, 2008.
After this date, you will no longer be able to access your images
through AOL Pictures. You may choose from or combine any of the
options listed above, based on your needs, as long as you do so by
December 31.

Please go to AOL Pictures as soon as possible to register for American
Greetings PhotoWorks for continued access to your pictures or to save
your images on your computer or to DVD. Here, you will also find more
information and step-by-step instructions on each of the available
choices.

We sincerely appreciate your being an AOL Pictures user. It has been
our pleasure to provide you with an enjoyable online photo experience.

Sincerely,

The AOL Pictures Team

A fe years ago, they quit hosting newsgroups, so that's when I went
with google, now it seems like their cutting out their lame photo
hosting.


From people I know who have used AOL for pic hosting, i don't know of
any who were satisfied, and went with Photobucket, or somebody else.


I'm suprised AOL hasn't tanked already.

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...

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.

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!

For about $60/year you can have your own domain and website at
GoDaddy.com

Those of you who have long term AOL e-mail addresses; you can cancel
your AOL account but keep your e-mail for free, in fact I haven't
really used AOL in years and found out that they were holding my
access for me for free........as long as I access it thru my own DSL
account. I don't know how or why but I can access all of AOL and it's
free.
HTH.


Same way with me, Bud. I got a hold of a local ISP which is really
pretty fast, and that's when AOL and I parted ways. I still have all
access to AOL (as if i cared to)

I don't access AOL very often, because it usually drags and is slow,
and they have to occasionally erase their overload of "artwork"

I suppose AOL was ok in the dial up days, but they didn't have very
many local access points, and their system was usually clogged by
overselling accounts. it took forever to download some minor stuff,
and if somebody sent you a link to a website, it could knock you
offline. plus they had time limits on how long you could be online.

unless they can come up with something magic, I wouldn't doubt if in a
year or so they didn't head down the tooooobz

Not for me. The Russkis have made and actually do make some interesting

It's either that or retractable training wheels?

Actually they are kind of cool. The spare tire and wheel they carry fits
any wheel position. And supposedly they are very easy to maintain and
repair. The problem with them is they are way under powered, or at least
they used to be.

Exactly. I think most of their automotive ideas were confiscated in
WW2 and not much changes.

I did hear that their cameras wern't bad, but everythign else.. eh...

No, I wouldn't have a Ural anything shoved proverbially sideways.

So, what does a windows cut and paste expert have to do with running
Linux servers, and commercial gateways?... Terri is one of the most

Granted, when it comes to talking a good game and having no real

Not for me. The Russkis have made and actually do make some interesting

much impressed with Russia's vehicles for consumers, including their
motorcycles.

Unless you want a Harley, or a Harley-like motorcycle, and there's
certainly nothing wrong with that, the best place to look for
motorcycles is among the offerings of the Japanese manufacturers. I was
tempted by a Ducati for a while, and I did take a look at a couple of
BMWs, but in the end I went for one from the land of the Rising Sun.

It's a bit more complicated than a simple-minded fool like you can
conjure, apparently. The bike came from a first-rate store where I was
properly measured and fitted and, in fact, was told the proper seat
height was where my feet just touched the ground. That was not the
measurement we used for the proper frame size or seat to pedal distance.

Oh...I don't shop at Wal-Mart.

There are several brands of beer from Mexico I enjoy on those rare
occasions when I have a beer. I also like some Italian beers and some
German beers. I like some of the Sam Adams brews. I don't like Bud, Bud
Lite, Miller, Miller Lite, Coors, or any of the ****y American beers you
probably drink by the 12-pack every night.

Give him a little time to google up the right answers. And if he
