is it true that aol internet service is bad on a computer ....?

Answer 1

It dependes on your computer..

But IT Takes a lot of RESources, also it makes your computer Boot up a lil slower

The good thing you get dial up for free for at least a year..

Try Peoplepc.. or Netzero

Their software its so small and faster than AOL.

Anyway EVErybody has a pop up blocker,, and "security software"..let me tell you.. that stuff doesnot work..

They just say that on tv to scare people.. for better protection ..go and READ download.com

Answer 2

I have had AOL since 1995. the part that is bad is that it takes up a lot of space on your computer hard drive and memory. It tends to bog down a system at times. It wants you to use its plug ins.
I will not use 9.0 and all its security stuff. Too much splash and complications. 8.0 is still a good system and works well. Had it for 2 years and I am still not complaining. Have friends that have broadband and still have there AOL accounts full system. So, its all in the eye of the beholder.

Nooooo although they are hard on your wallettoday most ISP have all kinds of bells and whistles like parental controls and pop-up blockers AOL will run you about $24 a month I get the highest dsl from SBC / AT&T for $30 a month.
