Woohoo, lucky me, I have AOL.
Everyone we know keeps badgering us to get Optimum or other kinds of dial-up, but I myself do not want to change. Simply because I don't want to lose my nice e-mail account and all my favorites and files. Plus, it goes a bit faster than Netscape and some of the others I've known. But hey, I'm not paying the bill, so that's just me.
AOL has to be connected to the internet to have anything internet-wise run; Netscape, Internet Explorer, AIM, Trillian, etc. They all run on AOL's power. So if AOL has to close (and it does have to close A LOT), then everything else goes bye-bye.
