I should have canceled them, but i kept paying their monthly extortion
fee till they came out with the "free" edition a couple maybe three
years ago. that upgrade took out some of their features but not enough
to justify having them.

My dad and stepmom are still handcuffed to it, and can't imagine
living without it since they have so much stuff tied to it.
I think AOL's further survival is closely related to actuarial
