Yes, me too!
I used to have AOL, but now use Outlook. It is set to beep to notify, but all I actually hear is some kind of click from the CPU
Never the less, I am sure it would have sounded like a field of crickets during the game

Sounds like AOL might be having some trouble anyway. Good thing you dumped them!

Yes, I heard this too. Apparently they are co-operating to their best ability

Yeah, I'm not sure of the details, but imagine if AOL/Time-Warner went the way of Enron?
*sheesh!*

I bet the British ISPs (especially British Telecom) are loving this. AOL are the only provider over here that I know of that do not have to charge VAT (!7.5%) on top of their subscription. I think it is only a matter of time though

For sure you have not heard the exploits of Goody
Never put email notification on...it is dangerous

Well I know that, now. It never was bad before that day, but 414 emails is a bit much. I would hate to think what would have happened if I didnt check my email for a week, which is what I used to do.

At least it hasn't been too busy around here, or you would have really been hurting.

Thought you were intentionally ignoring me there, because Im desperate for conversation. I resorted to playing Morrowind on and off
and surfing the net.
So.......any progress on jeopardy?

Working on it as we speak...er type, or what ever it is we're doing
These slow nights are a pain, everyone knows I need to be entertained, but do they care? noooo, off somewhere with their real life .......
Sorry, rant mode over.

Having a real life is over-rated I think. Ill be sticking around here for a while-so we could have a small conversation. But I wish people like Georgi, Dottie, Ode, or The Z were here aswell. Conversations tend to errupt when they are around.
What catagories have you started-or is that classified information?
