I have been on AOL since they started back in 1983 I believe. Then and now I could be found by my family as I traveled the Globe as "Sapper8@AOL.Com" for 28 years. I continue partly because it would be like loosing my wallet. Everything is in it and a pain to replace. But also out of "Loyalty" - AOL went out of it's way in the early days to ensure we could connect in places like Germany and Hawaii.
They were perfect for a soldier who traveled on his own alot. They had plans were I could dial in to an 800 number to keep the costs down. Yes I said Dial up. It makes the stories about Black and White TV as a kid look lame compared to Modem Wars.
How many of you under the age of.......say 30, could explain 300 baud vs 1200 baud. OMG The new 9600 just came out, only costs $450. I could go on and on reminiscing about AOL. What does this have to do with my topic ? Nothing, I just wanted to say it :)
That said, I am faced with a huge decision. To Keep or Kill my AOL account. Why ?
Answer: The Huffington Post now controls all News Related content on AOL and many other Time Warner companies as a result of Companies gobbling each other up. Yeppers, that dumb Bitch even came out on day 1 and said there would be changes and she will control "What" we read.
If I really need to explain why this a huge arrow in the heart of "Fair and Balanced" and Ten times worse than the Gestapo companies like Google......oops. Wake up you little Gnomes.......before it's too late.
We are talking about someone who openly embraced "Code Pink" when they conducted their attacks on recruiting offices. They were not happy with reporting the news, they wanted to make it, their way !
When asked by one of the wire services about customers canceling their accounts, AOL failed to comment.
The fact the question has to even be asked tells us the truth. It is merely a matter of "How Many" ? The final number even if large really does not matter, nor a point of concern by AOL officials. In the end, they now have an additional 240 million by the short hairs.
I tried to find a video that has hundreds of those little wind up ducklings. That mental picture says it all for me.
