- Howdy,
- I got my subscription package and tried AOL for myself. Now,
- I've had accounts on Compu$pend and GEnie, both of which were sluggish
- and hard to maneuver around. I like AOL because you feel as if you using
- the System 7 Network facility; or using the System 6 chooser to pick a host
- and remote connect to it. In any case, the folders are well organized
- although it did take a bit getting used to some of the dialog boxes to
- find out where GIF Converter 2.3 was. In any case, I haven't spend TOO
- much time with it, I really don't want to spend too much money on this
- thing. I highly recommend it over GEnie and Compu$h*t in terms of
- navigation (yes, even with the Navigator). As for message systems and
- conferences, I really haven't spent too much time with them. I do like
- the Company Product Support sections except that there aren't too many
- of them. Also, in the lifestyles section, there isn't a 'Movies'
- newsgroup. If anyone has any comments (NOT flames..these are my opinions
- you know) then e-mail me.
