I think I wanna sew that company for harassment . I mean damn 15 cd`s a month in the mail from them, this is getting old fast. Anyone with me on this?

Malus

Well, it would take an awful lot of thread to sew them. Perhaps you would want to sue them, which would require a lot of money you don't have as well. Capitalism triumphs again, w00t!

Just save all of them. Then when you have about 1000 (Shouldn't take that long maybe 3-4 years) go to AOL/Time Warner's Headquarters and use them to assault the secrity guards and employees. They'll get the picture...

If you live in the Europe, you may be able to sue them in a few years as the EU recently voted to forcing spamming opt-in - ie its illegal for you to receive spam unless you opt-in to it somehow.

didnt you read AOLs new TOS? By being born you automatically accept responsibility for any and all CDs you receive from them!

Installed it's own Adapter rendering your other things useless and *ucks you in the ear yelling "WET WILLY" while sucking your wallet dry for 5 minutes wasted of you time.... plus... e-mail/mail with cds that are excellent for diceing up carrots.....

But you know, i actually have a use for the AOL Cd's i have in excess of 40 Unique cd's, with different images. (starting from 100 hours free, all the way to 1025, yeah i already got one of those.... and no its not a typo, it is 1025 <lol>). I plan on making a card deck out of them when i get 54.

thats the beauty of it you dont have to sign a contract

its like a verbal agreement (legally binding in my state )

you are born therefore AOL is supposed to send you those cds

theres no way out

digitalwanderer

Just as long as you ain't looking for an argument, 'cause around here I believe you are preaching to the choir.

Are you calling me a choirboy?

I saw the aol interface for the first time last week, (yes I know I lead a sheltered life), and I really must say, I think it looks pretty crap.

the company really are in financial difficulties from what I hear from people in the industry and recent reports of them losing billions in revenue over the last 6 months.

perhaps they would be best advised to increase their phone line networks (im speaking about the UK here, not sure about US support) for dial up, I know people who cant get online after 6pm in the UK, only after 20 minutes of dialling do they get a connection.

and they seriously expect people to pay £15 a month for that kind of service?? its 2002, not 2000.

digitalwanderer

Yes and no.....
