Let me start by saying that I don't like, nor would I ever use, AOL, after a very bad experience w/them right after I first became a computer owner.  But when they sent a sign up disc that offered a Sponge Bob game, and my 7 year old pestered me to load it for him, I said, "What the hell. I'll take their free signup period and the kid will have his game. Then I'll cancel."

Bad mistake.  The disc totally screwed up my computer innards.  Ended up losing the ability to get on both my regular service (Earthlink), and couldn't get on AOL either.  During EIGHT phone calls to AOL they hung up on me 7 imes, and by the eighth time, I was so disgusted I just said the hell w/t. I'll just rerun the set up discs that came w/the machine.


So be warned. If you get this disc from AOL. TRASH IT!

BTW, the game is a simple pinball thing the the kid got bored with after 15 minutes

AOL is a big pile of shit.  Nothing new from those of us more experienced users.  It will trash any computer, yet I've seen a few people say it doesn't take over the computer.  My ass, it hoses all machines.

AOL sucks, I keep the boxes the disk come in.
I did fill up a car trunk with them once.

Hell no. As I mentioned, when I was a newbie I tried them and dumped them after two months.  But I'm a softie for the kid.

AOL is a bad deal but their disks make great targets.
