However, the real problem came when I discontinued service. It took 6 MONTHS to get the billing stopped and corrected after I canceled. I signed up for one of their specials a few years ago. X numbers of hours per month, and some fee when you go over it. I wasn't paying much attention because the bills came on a credit card bill and my XYL pays them immediately. After a few months, she asked me why the AOL bill was like 90 dollars each month. All I could figure out was that they were charging me their "extra rate" for every second I was on line. Plus the service was slow due to the little ads they graciously sent me, the browser didn't really work, and I was cut off a lot. Finally I tried to terminate my account, and they had all kinds of weird stipulations that stood in the way of ending the account. Just trying to find the number to call took a lot of time online. After I switch to a new provider, I was deluged by "We want you back" mail. Maybe if they put enough effort into keeping me happy in the first place, they wouldn't have to put the effort into getting me back. Other than that, I just love A*L. - Mike KB3EIA - |

I recall when AOL sent out there stuff on a floppy. Which was at least worth something 'cause you could erase and reuse it. Maybe like softening the CDs of today and making candy dishes out of them? I LIKE it!! I use 'em for coasters, leveling furniture, craft projects, etc. 21st century clay pigeons, anyone? 73 de Jim, N2EY I laughed hysterically when I saw this, Jim!! Man, they'd make great ones. What's a "real" clay pigeon made of? Reason I ask is, that shooting skeet with CDs would be putting an awful lot of plastic into our dear mother earth. Kim W5TIT |

Reason I ask is, that shooting skeet with CDs would be putting an awful lot of plastic into our dear mother earth. Ugh. Bad idea. Here's a practical use for them: Put them under candles, shiny side up. They reflect the loight and some heat, and protect your table/cloth from dripping wax. And a practical joke use: Make up a real-looking CD label that says "HOT XXX PHOTOS" or some such, stick it on the AOL CD, and leave it around where someone will swipe it and try to view it. bwaahaaahaaa..... 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Hey, use them for gift tags! Make up a label, place it onto the AOL CD, and use a pretty ribbon to tie between the package and the hole of the CD. Hmmmmm, this could really get interesting (they could also be used against those wall mounted candle holders, carried in the pocket on a hike (they'd reflect light and work for signaling really well). Let's see...they could be strung onto a mobile and used as a bird attractant for the bird bath... I'll stop, I gotta go get stuff to do the smoked brisket for tomorrow! Kim W5TIT |

They make great little frisbee's and with a dremel tool, wicked versions of
those "chinese throwing stars" as well. I wonder how many other uses people have found for them??? -- Ryan, KC8PMX FF1-FF2-MFR-(pending NREMT-B!) --. --- -.. ... .- -. --. . .-.. ... .- .-. . ..-. .. .-. . ..-. ... --. .... - . .-. ...

Hmmmmm, this could really get interesting (they could also be used against those wall mounted candle holders, carried in the pocket on a hike (they'd reflect light and work for signaling really well). They work really well for signalling if ya know Morse Code... That too, but they'd work just fine to be found by air if ya just keep flashing. Same for CW. Just keep beeping and beeping and beeping and, anyone who knows something's up (and that would be nearly anyone with any capability of reasoning) will hunt the signal down :o Let's see...they could be strung onto a mobile and used as a bird attractant for the bird bath... And the squirrel feeder... I'll stop, I gotta go get stuff to do the smoked brisket for tomorrow! yummm.... 73 de Jim, N2EY Oh, man. Yummmm is right. Let's see: roasted zuchinni, pineapple, and hatch peppers; smoked brisket and Ekrich brand sausage; baked potatoes encrusted with garlic, salt, and rosemary; roasted purple onion; steamed corn-on-the-cob; and iced tea. The Hatch peppers are done, and doggone are they good! Kim W5TIT |

Couldn't have been. I was a 50's baby. You're dismissed. |
