I've always disliked AOL. Whenever I see their CDs in the store or Post Office, I take one or two. It's just my own little public service - the more I get out of circulation, the less are available for poor computer newbies who might accidentally put one in their computer, thinking it was something useful.

So this was little good news that arrived in my mailbox recently. I own some Time Warner stock, and TW acquired (and then later unaquired) AOL, so somehow I became a part of all this.
