Re: [Thinkpad] Junk preload

Are you at a hotel? Many have some kind of free or nearly-free access these days.

AOL causes a lot of problems for people, and I don't think most people know that you can
have an AOL connection without its proprietary interface. Last time I knew, it was $9 US a
month.

couldn't believe it. Every Thinkpad I've had before has had AOL. This time, no AOL, no
connection. Eeeech!
