I have friend that uses AOL...and has for almost 10 years now.

He does not have access to high speed where he lives....and he has had the same email address for as many years....which he usually uses for business...and like us all I am sure he has some "alter" identities he uses..when in the mood.

He uses high end dell laptops that he upgrades every 2 years...and is able to hook into highspeed access points when available.

He is not a n00b..but he does use AOL

I guess it just depends on your preferences on what provider you use.

Just cause you dont have access to high speed...doesnt make you a n00bie
