@Oldschoolgamer: it depends on their age. I doubt anyone under 30 thinks you need AOL, or that McAfee is any good.
For that matter, AOL is getting so skanky it reeks of The National Enquirer. (I do have an AOL account I rarely visit, and have noticed how seedy AOL news is getting. EW.)
@Bekki: Dude, I've thought Yahoo was a bunch of fuckin yahoos since the mid 90s.
A lot of what you're talking about is cool - except that it's what should've been available in the late 90s. Nowadays, it should be fucking automatic, such that you would about only have ta think it and it would happen. Capitalism: keeping shit convoluted for your amusement.
Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.
