Deleting AOL will accomplish the same thing.

 

 

Timely: Your computer was constipated. I hope it's running smooth as a whistle now!

 

Actually, this isn't as funny as you think. If you know your AOL access numbers, you could set up a dial-up connection for those numbers and uninstall AOL. You won't get the pretty home page when you access, but you can go to the website and do all your e-mailing there. As far as I'm aware, there isn't a single provider where you actually need to access the net via their software.

Do you mean "it rides the short yellow bus to school?" I think the pc term for "slow" is now developmentally disabled.

GP, i don't think you can do that with AOL, i tried once but no luck.

[JohnBull]

What was the problem?

[Galactus]

Tried using the telephone number in Explorer, but it loaded to a point and then froze (maybe due to the lack of AOL software??)

It does bog down at times... and I am with Pimpy on the slow PM loading...

 

I have to throw away about 500 PM's every month or it takes about 30 seconds for the stupid PM page to come up.

 

Now, I do remember fondly the days when I would wait 18 minutes for Ultima III to load on my Commodore 64 with the 1541 disk drive... But nowadays if it takes 10 seconds to change pages I am ready to get up and go get a beer...

 

I know that they were implementing a new design for the boards that would allow it to scale to more users. To compensate, they had to turn off an option that potentially has performance impacts.

 

Of course you have your usual suspects: ISP (Internet Service Provider), bad connection, slow computer, viruses on your computer, routing delays on the Internet,
