AOL’s not so bad…
Well, I’ve been with AOL since mid-March this year, and I’ve had to use the AOL services, software, etc. since I started there.
After using it for a bit, I’ve become acclimatized to it, and might even risk saying that “I like it”. ![]()
I’m liking the beta version of Webmail for AOL, since it actually seems to work, and makes sense. It’s got a bit of AJAX to it, but not enough to turn me off from it. It responds nicely to Firefox, and, well, it’s got a leg up on GMail at times, I must say.
If that 28/7 timer that we use could be changed, I’d be happier, but even then, that’s fine, and it makes sense: If you didn’t bother to save an email within a week after opening it, it’s not likely that you needed it for anything.
The AOL 9.0 software itself, I may never get used to, but I can try to, at least. I’m used to tabs, rather than a multiple document interface, but some people like their MDI more.
I’ve had to grow a tolerance for Internet Explorer as well, since I started, simply because most users are not aware of browsers other than IE.
I’ll never love it, but it can exist for now.
