George W Bush does!

And i know Sadam Hussein is a big AOL fan. Had many a late night chat with Georgy and Sadam!  

Sorry but i work as a consultant for a software developer and i used to work for a design and internet service company and AOL is crap mate. Just get yourself a nice quick connection. I personaly use Aramiska and Freeserve.  

Sayin in that it does depend what yopu want the net for. AOL is great for censoring the net and people who don't know there way around. I would consider it if i had kids. Unfortunately by my experience it seems to be bloody good at killing computers or makin super slow too.
