It's a little better than that, since Netscape's initial settings are more
reasonable.

It's about the same--for some reason you can't use AOL's webmail with the
copy of IE that's built into the AOL client.  You have to run some other
web browser (even IE) separately, although you can do it while you're
connectd to AOL.
