I tried going to keyword "Change Plan" and sure enough it says a dial-up can be had for $9.95. I guess I just have a suspicious nature, can't help but wonder what the catch is. I'm having a hard time believing that all of a sudden AOL got hit with a generous streak! I've not been able to go to 'my account' for ages. I get in a loop with Screen Name Service, then another page. Just tried again ... got a little further this time. Got to give my Challenge word which they didn't accept ... said I was locked out for 24 hours but could chat with an online rep. Now I'm trying to get there and am in another Loop! See three messages on my Live Billing Support screen .. "Session mailbox not found for request 9032. Please login again". Same message two more times with different numbers. It appears to be loading as the long box at the bottom fills in with blue, then the word Done appears, then Opening Page. I could sit here all night watching this happen I guess ... I've downloaded AOL from three different disks in case I had a bad disk. I'm now on dial-up AOL Security Editon SE Revision 4184-5326. Using Windows XP. And wondering if it's all worth it? Except for my screenname being in so many different genealogy sites, I'd give it up in a heartbeat! Gail Vacaville, CA
