We had a bunch of problems with our computer a couple of years ago when we were dumping AOL to go with another ISP (back in the dinosaur days when DSL was just a twinklin' in our eyes!). We had a friend who works on computers come look at it and he told us that the AOL program had actually "highjacked" some of the programs that we needed in order to use the new ISP. He told us that people had complained to AOL about this little ummm.... bug .... and they denied that their program did this. So for a class project, a bunch of guys got together and took a brand new hard drive, wrote down all the settings, then downloaded AOL and found nearly 200 and some-odd settings had been changed. They reported this to AOL who never responded ..... Anyway, the only way we could get our computer back online was to erase our hard drive and reload all our programs from scratch. I won't have anything to do with AOL because of the big hassle. (Besides, now that we have DSL, who needs 'em anyway?!)

Hmmm..... why do you suppose AOL does this?! Could AOL/Time Warner be plotting a sinister plan to take over the world?! *Cue the "Pinky and The Brain" theme song*

Online judgementalism

by logansrun in

in my year and a half as a member of a couple ex-jw forums i have seen what i perceive to be a massive error on both my part and the part of others.

the mistake is this: judgeing someone simply from their on-line personality and statements.

i see it time and time again.

imallgrowedup

Yeah! Inquiring minds want to know!

Just what does bttt mean?!!!

Are You Hooked On a Soap?

by Sentinel in

i can't believe they still refer to these shows as "soaps", but yes, i'll be the first to admit that i tape one soap show regularly, and am quite up on all the goings on.

and, sometimes, i suppose i can even admit to being obsessive.

this is especially so, if the story line is at a very good place, and the power goes off during my day at work, and it doesn't get taped.

I'm addicted to Irish Spring - especially the new "Icy Blast". Ain't a better way to wake up in the morn!
