Now, that AOL has merged with Time Warner. I can now expect worthless AOL content to flood my TV and RR service. Time Warner is far as I'm concerned, is a worthless and desperate media corporation.

This is just what we need.... AOL screws up everything they touch. There goes time warner... RoadRunner Cable service will probably go up in price also. Making it the highest priced cable access in the country. (already at $40/mo)

I agree. This was the final step in AOL's plan to BUY the World. Not only do all of their original products and services suck, they can always find away to make everything bloatware. AOL is probably one of the wost companies, but since they have so many $$$ and target the mentally challenged they are very successful. I feel it is now time for a Lawsuit against AOL.

I am open to suggestions,
and if there is anything I can do...
I could tell you some AOL horror stores, but there are to many to read, and not enough time in my lifetime
