Either this guy's lying to get a higher profile as an author, being truthful and exposing himself as either terribly ignorant or a neoLuddite, or it's all total bullshit and an elaborate troll. 'Scuse me while I cook up a fake website and long, boring story about how I write textbooks:
A true guru would not recommend AOL, now, in the future, or in the past, for their software is invasive and causes crashes, and their corporate policy and direction is unholy. You have strayed from the true path.
Furthermore, your composition to AOL is wordy, awkward, and burthened with the grandiose, the meanest email-screening lackey would instantly dismiss your claims to guruship and technology-inputity at the workplace as insomnia Jovis. This feedback is in vain, regardless; as it was with fark, so it shall be with livejournal. Few ISPs who offer "personal web space" want you to use that space for anything other than "<H1>HTIS SI MY HOEMPAGE<P></H1>" pages that no-one will ever load.
You do realize the phone company providing power over the wire so that analog phones will work and being able to power your "DSL modem" (I wish people would stop using terms like that) off a battery aren't terribly related?
When power went out here, both cable tv and cable internet kept working, I suspect because most cable companies understand that disruptions in service aren't appreciated by customers and legislators.
