Thanks so much!
I have downloaded the desk top and it seems to be working pretty well!

You don't need their desktop, although it is neat. You can just use
a regular web Browser and set up an account in Apple Mail for AOL
mail so you don't tie up the phone line. I have a friend who uses
AOL on my Mac and that's the way she does it. I've just recently
installed the desktop and it does seem from the brief time I played
around with it to work. Be sure to download the desktop and not the
older software.

Last version I tried had issues in the compose mail section where
VO didn't echo what I typed and such. I also noticed the installer
has some modal dialogs which after hitting OK I still had to
navigate to the Next button to continue the install. The AIM chat
log was also kind cumbersome to navigate around in. It's getting
there as far as accessibility but not 100% yet.
You could also try out their webmail at
mail.aol.com
or try setting up Apple Mail to suck down email messages. Found a
FAQ here:

Apple hasn't shipped a modem in their machines for sometime.
Broadband penetration these days is high enough that the majority
of users aren't doing dialup.

Hi Everyone,
I will be on vacation next week and will not have access to high
speed internet. I will need to use AOL and dial up. How
accessible is AOL with VO? Where can I get a veraion for mac to
install on my macbook?
I am pretty sure that I will need to purchase a USB modem, because
my macbook doesn't have an internal one. Correct me if I'm wrong;
I got my macbook in December, and I don't see a jack for a modem.
Thanks for any help.
