Dial-up Internet
A family member of mine has AOL Dial-up internet. I mean, is she one of the 14 people that still have that? It's almost 2007. If not now, WHEN? It is soooo slow, I don't have to tell you guys. You probably had that at one point or another about 7 years ago when you first started using the internet. Anyway, I just found this list of things to do while you wait for it to connect
Your taxes.
Complete your BA degree.
Watch your hair grow.
Finally clean your keyboard.
Count the tiles on the ceiling 200 times.
Think about commercials you saw during the Super Bowl.
Scribble "I HAVE NO LIFE" on a notepad.
Read War and Peace, and write a book report on it.
Contemplate the meaning of a General Protection Fault.
Watch your AOL stocks decrease in value.
Become mezmerized by your screen saver.
Organize your desk.
Spend "Quality Time" with your hard drive.
Plan secret mission involving AOL headquarters and several rolls of toilet paper.
Try to remember the words to the pledge of allegiance.
Listen to the radio.
Contemplate the meaning of the word "unlimited".
Clip your toenails.
Enjoy while you wait.

I think a lot of people still have AOL. My last boss stopped using it over a year ago and I saw his bank statements and they never EVER stop charging you.
I know another person who every time she called them to cancel her free 90 days, they'd tell her she could have 90 more. And this has been going on for over a year.
I really don't see why pay for a service like them. For a few $ more you can get DSL these days, no?

She is actually paying the same amount I am. She doesn't want to change because she'll lose her AOL email address and have to email all her contacts the new email address. How crazy is that?

Or @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com or whatever. She still has to forward everyone her new address. Also her bank and credit card company have the old email address. I've tried to convince her, believe me. It wouldn't bother me but I happened to have used her computer recently and remembered my early internet experiences.
