Hear hear!

I must use AOL not because I want to or because I'm too dumb to chose another.
My parents choose AOL, can't be talked into switching (and I HAVE tried many
times), and I simply can't afford a second ISP myself (being only in high
school without a good job, as I suspect many on this list are).

Granted, AOL is not that great of an ISP, and I do think that many of the
users of AOL use it because they see the icon on the desktop of their new
Windows machines.  It is already there and takes little effort to sign up for,
a nesscesary no brainer for some.

But it would be fairly logical that if someone were interested in assembly
programming, they would not be ignorant when it comes to computers.  It would
follow that they likely use AOL because it is their only affordable,
reasonable option.

So, not that I have contributed my three cents, I will shut up about this
somewhat silly matter, and I would hope that others will do the same.  Lets
get back to TI assembly, for God's sake.
