    I agree except for the part about Yahoo. Yahoo users are by far the most articulate and polished people on the Internet. :-D

    Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

        Is it just me, or do people who use AOL tend to know less about using their browsers and computers in general? I know several long-term AOL members. One is a lady in her 50s. She's a smart gal and business owner. But a few weeks ago I had to explain how to copy and paste to her. And she's been using computers for years. My older brother (AOL user) complained a few years ago about how his Win XP machine was slowing down. I asked him how often he defragged. His reply: "Defrag? What's that?" I know another AOL user who's had the same machine for years. She emailed me one day wondering how to find out what version of Windows she had. Maybe it's just coincidence but it seems odd that so many AOL users lack a lot of the general knowledge most other "non-IT" users have. I'm not being snarky, just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

          AOL is a company that donated millions of floppy disks to people so they could re-format them. Saved me a few dollars.

            It's the reason for the book, "Internet For Dummies"

              To be fair defragging on modern enormous hard disks running NTFS is far less necessary than it used to be. And I'm sure they do know less, because the only reason you'd ever have started using them is if you didn't know it was a bad idea, and the only way you'd still be using them is if you hadn't worked out it's a bad idea since.

                AOL is the Internet with training wheels.
