Just wait until one of you realize AOL is EVIL

and try to uninstall it. Then you'll know what I mean!

why does AOL not uninstall easly?

It uninstalls fine. However, it does adjust some of the general internet settings when used as your ISP. If you don't know much about that sort of thing, it can be very annoying when you try to run a new ISP that uses different standards. Some of them won't automatically adjust those settings when installed and might not run properly as a result.

why use such (generally) crappy and bloated isp softwares when they're not needed at all. Just go to dialup networking -> make new connection. Done

I'll keep that in mind if i ever uninstall AOL.

I wish I knew about this site when I switched ISP's. I had to call 7 times before I got someone who had any idea what my connection problem was!
