AOL 5.0 Lawsuit

This here space will be where I risk eternal damnation to Flame Hell.

AOL 5... sigh. I\'ve been using it since it went public beta. It was very handy when I moved to a new city last fall. Now I\'m currently using USWest as my main ISP, but still have my AOL account around, on the \'Bring Your Own Access\' billing. Not ONCE have I had a single problem with my TCP/IP settings. It seems to me (to me, to me) that the people that are having troubles with it don\'t know what their doing with computers in the first place. I learned the lesson of always clicking \'no\' to installers that want to take a lot of system settings/file associations for themselves long ago.

Makes me think of this: A person that doesn\'t know how to use a gun goes out and buys one and runs around the street firing wildly and killing people. When questioned, they respond, \"I didn\'t know what I was doing\". They then turn around and sue the gun manufactuers. Who\'s at fault? The people that make the product or the people that willingly stumble around because they are too proud to pull their heads out of their asses? Education. Thats somes it up for me.

ya wana know something i got a stack of those aol cd\'s..
i had a box of aol disks..
you know how good cd\'s fly when ya chuck one out the window goin down the interstate?
hehehe
they go up bout 40-80feet up and then crash and burn or bounce and roll (compuserve cd was the only one i could get to do that hehe)
DIE AOL!! AHHAH DIE!

Heheh... Guess AOL 5.0 isn\'t the only thing that really sucks:

They were reviewed, but don\'t even show up in the ratings....

I deserve the cash from this lawsuit. Why? I work at a college where part of my job is a residence network technician. I\'m the _only_ tech person that the residents will call for help. Take a fucking guess what the number ONE problem is...

In case you didn\'t get it, alot of people have Gateway or Walmart purchased PC\'s with AOL 5.0 preloaded. It doesnt take a genius to figure that AOL5.0 is not compatable with our TCP/IP based network. I get alot of fucking phone calls from fucking retards who think they can somehow gain access to AOL from the goddamn residence (the phones carry an electrical charge, so no modems...)

If I get one more god-damn mother-fucking gay-ass request to remove AOL 5.0 from someones god-damn computer I\'ll fucking sue AOL myself!

Pardon my fucking french.

Please stop all of you!! It\'s bad enough I\'m getting sued now, do you really have to mock me? Isn\'t anyone at this website on my side? So what, we don\'t provide the fastest connection, and of course there are the occasion 2 or 3.. hundred spam letters in your mailbox, but in return we give you a watered down version of the internet so you won\'t have to think. And isn\'t that what it\'s really about people?

#99 Plase don\'t make fun of my company. We work very hard to bring that cd to you. If you don\'t have anything nice to say then don\'t say it at all.

I had a dream once that AOL bought shugashack. I woke up in a cold sweat.
I hope it never happens for real.

That answers pretty much every question there is about him doesnt it?

Post #100!!!! Woo, I\'m a freaking idiot now!

Ominous, I get the impression that you\'re pretty bored and are just filling time with this drivel. That\'s fine. I really hope that\'s all it is, as the alternative is much lamer. The Self-Important Intellectual Superiorty Complex Disorder (SIISCS) kills millions of personalities every year! :-)

why would anyone want to sue me? I give them speedy internet access at affordable rate. I should be getting praised for getting so many people connected to the great internet, which I created by the way.

So... Who wants me to send them a free 500 hour aol cd? huh? it\'s free!

Ominous - You are such an idiot, it\'s laughable.

Keep up the good work!

Actually.. i saw you whining posts about your mom not paying for your dsl or something like that. And i dont have to be a psychic to see that someone who goes into pointless debates and tries to prove how smart and knowledgeble he is by calling someone an idiot is a either a kid or a complete loser.
And thats a very clever remark there psycho - psychic... VERY

Wow 87...make sure I sell you the rights no my life story since you already know so much about me...I bet you are a psycho friend network kinda guy? Err psychic friends........

Here is an idea... lets all install aol to get a 1000 dollar refund eh?

Most software has an EULA that ways it wont be responsibly for lost data...wonder if that is in the current one.

Just to inform you guys... don\'t take anything omnious says too serious, because there really isnt much thought to any of his posts, he is a bored kid who lives with his mom and goes onto shacks boards to play a smartass.

5-10 GB eh? I hope you don\'t have that all on the same partition as your windows fles and your swap file. 5 GB of MP3 would be like $10 worth of CDs.....

I have a CD-RW with ALL my latest drivers for ALL my hardware. I have my win 98 files on a partition that is always around incase I need to reinstall. If I had something important for my job I would make backups every night. If someone is using AOL on a computer, chances are there is nothing important on it.

Ok. YOU have 200 apps that sound important. I\'m SURE you have backups, right? If so then no big loss. We are talking about the stupid computer user that uses his computer for AOL and MS WORD. No big loss.

Just because you don\'t know enough to fix it doesn\'t mean that you shouldn\'t rely on it. How do I know that when I go in for heart surgery that the doctors aren\'t taking out my kidneys etc? idiot.

Now that analogy is a little far fetched.

I could fix a fridge. All there is there is a compressor, a thermostate, and a fan. I don\'t have a camera....I can fix a VCR...well....all of the problems I had trying to get the beta max i found to work paid off. And if my cell phone broke I would take it in and get a new free one.
