Time Warner Finds AOL Email Inadequate

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-easy-to-use dept.

DragonMagic writes "MSNBC.com carries this article describing the woes at many of Time Warner's companies after AOL's merger, where the internet giant tried to migrate them all to AOL's email services. From crashing software and attachment limits, to missing and misdirected mail, companies such as Time Magazine had to go so far as to have hard copies rushed before deadlines by cab! Plans are now to retreat from this forced migration and return to the services previously held by each company."

    A better solution for your e-mail needs is Microsoft service called Hotmail available at http://www.hotmail.com, and it's FREE!

    "Wouldn't Time Warner's critcism of AOL be a violation of the DMCA?"

    Why was I modded down to troll for posting this? There have been examples where the DMCA has been invoked to quash criticism of products by websites. I just thought that AOL could use the DMCA to shut up Time Warner.

    Lately I seem to have a moderator with a grudge against me. It would be nice if moderation wasn't anonymous.

    Hey, don't forget: AOL is the home of pedophiles, both online and in management. Yep, who better to promote family values than child molestors?
