Yeah, ok, so this is ten days late, but why, exactly, is AOL... America! offline! the UK's third biggest ISP? It really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. AOL shouldn't even exist in America, let alone all the other countries it's infested itself with. And, around here, those who don't directly have anything to do with AOL usually do. If you're on cable in this area, the only option is TimeWarner Cable or Earthlink, which just goes through TW anyway. Time Warner is AOL's parent company. Thus, millions of non-AOL subscribers in this country are indirectly, anyway. DSL subscribers here get either Hellsouth or Earthlink, unless they go with something like Speakeasy, which I've done, because they don't lose. It costs more, but it's worth it. Can't AOL just die already? -- -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(828)221-2971 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------- For anything related to the yamaha motif line of keyboards and modules, subscribe to the motif-help mailing list by sending a blank message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message originally sent in reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 12:38 AM EST.
