I'm at my wits end and just about ready to drop AOL but I've been with them since 1996 and I really do like them but for some reason, everything about them now seems to be 'going down the toilet'..... Hi I am so glad someone else is having the same problems. As I am not completely computer literate I thought it was me but am so glad to hear that it is not. I think that they are doing this because soon there will be a new AOL.10 or similar coming out soon. This problem arose when they were AOL.8 and I was forced to get AOL.9 but in the process lost a lot of important saved letters and addresses.
