OOOOHHHHHHH YEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
*Edit
AOL doesnt HAVE to be the problem, I know people that have used it (myself included) successfully and managed.
That said, it STINKS as a gaming connection. AOL uses tons of system resources that a game like AH needs in order to run smoothly. Not to mention all the stuff thats constantly running and downloading in the background. Then there's the issue of how many little ways AOL digs its claws into your computer and gets into things it really has no business getting into ................
I dont like AOL much, I used it for years. Still do at work. Be glad the day I can finagle a backdoor into the network and not rely on dialup service for my office computer.
