Has any other unfortunate AOLer noticed that if you do get a connection over
30000 bps it will kick you off after 5 minutes. 28000 is the fastest i dare
take it.
 
 2.  Busy signals: See point one.
 
 3.  That 45 minute button: I wrote a little "anti-timer" program that seeks
 out the timer window and hits the OK button (wow, like that's hard to do :-) 

That thing pisses me off, especially when I'm trying to download things longer
than 45 min. (like the FF8 opening movie, but that's a different list).

 4. Stupid people: I don't chat--at least not with the stupid people :-)

Wait there's a chat room without stupid people?
 
 Sorry for the off-subject post, this was just the easiest way to get things
 across.
