1 – Their “news” articles are mostly trivia.
2 – Often the links to news articles are really just links to more ads or to fluff pieces that have nothing to do with the question in their headlines.
3 – I can’t easily get rid of their news screen. When I click the X button in the corner the sucker bounces back in the form of a menu. When I click on the X button on the menu it comes right back two or three times, then eventually settles as a minimized button at the bottom that won’t go away no matter what I do.
4 – $26.95 per month for dial up. Need I say more?
5 – The email sometimes glitches so that no matter how many times I click on it, it doesn’t open.
6 – AOL software doesn’t like a lot of web pages, even the simple ones.
7 – The program makes me jump through extra hoops for everything from opening a web site to using a link in my email, even after I reset my preferences.
8 – Crash
9 – If I let the emails I saved build up too much the program crashes.
10 – I get pop ups even when they say I am protected from pop ups. Yeah. Right.
11 – Crash again, who knows why this time.
12 – It keeps looking for broadband even after I told it I don’t have broadband.
13 – When the latest version came out I was forced to use it even though I didn’t want to.
