Why You Should Ditch AOL

• AOL is suffering serious staffing problems. It's firing people and hiring new people in an effort to save the company. It won't work. It's going to die sooner rather than later. If you have your life and your business tied up in AOL, you will eventually have to get it out of AOL when AOL goes under. We, as a society, don't need "online service" anymore. People pick and choose what they need mostly from free sources. So AOL is dead conceptually. It's brain-dead waiting for someone to pull the plug on the life support.
• AOL program slows your computer down. Click on Control ALT and DELETE at the same time. Choose Task Manager and then Processes. Sort by Size. You'll see what an oinker the AOL program really is. That alone should make you ditch AOL.
• AOL makes people think you don't know anything about computers. Everyone knows that AOL trashes your hard drive and is wondering why you would do that to your computer which you care about.
• AOL is overpriced. For what you pay for dialup you can get a simple high-speed plan. If you are bringing your own high-speed access to AOL, you are just throwing your money to the wind. You can get the same functions you have in AOL elsewhere on the net for free.
