Ah, the joys of changing over. AOL recommends Mozilla for NGs. So I go for it,
download for nearly 45 minutes, install as per directions, and open the
program.

Yeah, right, as one of my granddaughters is wont to say. Mozilla loads with
some kind of ISP called PeoplePC which immediately informs me my first month is
free, but after that, $10.95. It then doesn't DO anything. Neither one do. I
can't reach the web sites, can't send mail, cannot do squat.

Back to the drawing board. Earthlink loaded most of the way, then got a Sys2099
error and stopped after I entered my phone number. That CD may be on its way. I
guess it is. I guess I care, but not much. Even $9.95 a month is too much for
that kind of nonsense.

I am recalling why I have stayed with AOL so long, and I am even more ****ed at
them for dropping NGs. If only...if only Google's NG layout wasn't such a
frigging disaster.
