...pretty shocking I must say. I'm sure AOL has contributed plenty to the introduction of the internet to the average joe user and is a factor that resulted in the widespread use of internet globally today. However from a technical user perspective I have never liked the way AOL marketed themselves through their mass mailing of CDs and 'in your face' adverts.
