I spent all day yesterday downloading AOL 7.0, and other than "looking pretty" I can't see where it does anything that 6.0 didn't do. I still have crap AIM (why is it that us paying customers get crap, but everyone else gets the good stuff???), and now I have trouble with some web pages loading a lot of red "x" pictures that I know are good pics, and if I reload they are there.....

I know, I know, I should get rid of AOL, but I checked out everything else in my area that appears to be legitimate, and they either don't have a local number, or they aren't any cheaper than AOL. I can't get cable or DSL either.
