I personally think that America Online is God's gift to Macintosh users. (Yes,
I know that there's  PC and A2 version, but I'm speaking in context.)

It's tremendously simple, downloads are usually excellent, and I've never had
any problems with the service at all. In fact, I can hardly wait for AOL 2.0
to come out... it should be great.

You really owe it to yourself to at least sign on and take a look... You can
cancel your membership if you don't like it, but since I've gotten AOL (1 1/2
years now) I've been on CI$ only twice....

Sounds good to my wallet, how 'bout yours?
