Wow! AOL actually did somthing right!

1. it's not aqua, its luna.
2. AOL is still slow and pathetic, like it always has been.
3. AOL is just as bad as Microsoft, they just don't have as many users
4. after 4 years of the same version, I would expect something WAY better than just a new interface.

1. It's aqua now, or at least more aqua. Gotta give 'em credit for trying.
2. AOL is slow, but only if you use it as your dial-up ISP. If you use it as an interface for the internet over an existing connection (like my family does) it's not that bad at all.
3. How are they just as bad as Microsoft? They aren't exactly a monopoly.
4. Haven't tried the new Mac version since I don't use AOL anymore.

AOL is not that bad. It was my first ISP and my folks still use it over their broadband cable connection. I don't see what the big problem is.
 
I have only ever used AOL when on people's machines who use it. I see it as an issue of the right tool for the job. If I want to use the Web, I open a web browser. AOL's web browser sucks. If I want to use email, I open a MUA. AOL's email sucks. Etc. It's a series of poor compromises.
