My cousins have been virtually locked in to AOL for almost a decade. They
keep saying that they want to quit it (latterly, I recommended a migration
to Google Mail), but I see their reluctance. AOL: what an abuse of those who
are not technology-savvy. AOL is a goatfest. It contains the word "America",
so you can't just let it pass you by... or bye...
Best wishes,
Roy
