AOL to Launch Discount "Netscape" Internet Service
BigJimSlade writes "AOL is planning to launch a discounted internet service. The service will have less of the 'extras' that AOL users are used to, but will only cost $9.95 a month. In a move to cash-in on name recognition, AOL will be naming this service 'Netscape'."
This marks the first time I have EVER considered AOL as a potential ISP.
Feel free to go stick your head in the oven, it amounts to the same thing.
When all you want is a basic connection, AOL used to be the absolute worst way to go. This new option may be more suitable to advanced users.
I've got 5 bucks that say AOL still messes this up. Seriously, an advanced users would shutter at the thought of using aol-anything. Hell, MY MOTHER shutters at the thought, and we are talking about a woman who uses a 6 year old mac with a 28.8k dialup.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
They charge $23 per month for dialup and some crappy TCL apps? For fucks sake. You'd think it was 1997. With all the "25000 hours Free AOL!" littering the gutters, you'd think everyone in the civilized world could get as much free dialup time as they can stand. Now they're whoring the Netscape name. Unabashed, shamless moneygrubbers. :) :( :)
1. Profit!!
2. Don't profit.
3. Call it Netscape!!
4. Profit again!!

yes you're so fucking cool because you were around "back in the day." I fucking hate people who constantly need to interject with how things used to be. Shut the fuck up. I remember lynx and 2400 baud. I also remember when your mom didn't have a moldy grey cunt. That doesn't make me all kewl and l33t, except that I'm fucking your mom as i type this.
A dial-up without the extra features (just the web, baby)
What the fuck? Port 80 only? That fucking blows. What if you want to play Counter Strike or use ftp? You should more out of that fucking country anyway. Here in the United States we have basic freedoms - hell, if you're a nigger your get MORE freedoms like "freedom from work" and "freedom to foul your own environment" and "freedom to act like a damned monkey in public."
What should I do about it? My boss with the boobs (Bryanna) has called me into her office in less than five minutes. If I walk in there with this tent pole I don't know what's going to happen! It doesn't help that I'm hung like a hoarse. I've tried several approaches in the past but they've all failed. Whenever I beat off in my cubicle someone almost always finds out. One more time and I'm out the door. I've also tried beating it down with a hammer, but all that does is make it harder and even more blue than usual. But I can't help it. Just the presence of Bryanna in this office makes me horny and I haven't "gotten any" in about 7 yeras. And even that time was with my pet dog Rover. So I don't know what to do. I'm sure you've all been in the same predicament. What do you do to resolve this sensitive matter?
