6 years and the pc decided to want to stop working

I have had some really annoying issues (probably caused by AOL).

Firstly, a USB ports stops working

Secondly, my pc has randomly rebooted 3 times in 2 days

Finally, the USB ADSL (provided by AOL) has crashed 4 times in 2 days.

I have tryed to count the amount of times i have rebooted, and i counted 12.

I got my PC december 1999, which proves that it is very old.

Hate is a powerful word, but I admit I hate aol, and I wish i could get ihateaol.com

My powerful ‘i hate aol’ words.

Finally, i have had enough, months and months of issue after issue, i had a row with my mum.

‘AOL is the worst fucking software ever in the world, hate is a strong word, and i f-in hate AOL’

I said 30 seconds later

‘You have until 27th November to cancel AOL, or i will do it myself, because i am so fucking sick of this, i have work to do and i cannot do it, and it is all AOLs fault.’

I had a chat to my ICT teacher.

He asked me ‘What Internet Service Provider do you have?’

I replyed ‘AOL’

He replyed saying ‘That is a nasty, nasty company.’

Here is a list of problems i have had when i use AOL.

• Constant disconnections
• Accused of mass mailing
• My account was hacked 3 times.
• AOLs technical support number was no longer free
• Too much software for my pc to handle
• Pc randomly restarts
• Dynamic IP address (shared and half of the stuff i go is banned, like wikipedia)
• Irritating messages. (AOL SpyZapper e.t.c)
• Lack of OS’s which work with AOL
• Support is in india, and i cannot understand anything they tell me
• Costs £17.99 a month – waste of money in my opinion
• Mess’s with my pc – cannot restart when AOL crashes and i have to forcefully edit it
• Uninstall takes 40 mins to instalize, and then 20 mins to uninstall. That is per version installed

I have decided my new ISP, the lowest package is what i have chosen, i can host MY websites on MY computer.

Hopefully more luck with this company, if a ICT teacher uses it, i am 99% sure that it is good for me as well.

Some advise, do not ever use AOL, AOL is the worst software. I honestly wish i connected to the internet with a different ISP. I would have brought ihateaol.com and i would have used it. Now it is for sale for over $80,000…

Does wordpress.com use AJAX or something powerful in the admin area?

In the admin area, the pages load really fast, and deleting is so fast and i do not have to load a new page. Do you think that there is something like AJAX or just some javascript in the admin area?

Want to switch to linux but my parents will not let go of AOL

I think that ihatemicrosoft.com is one of my favorite websites because i am also becoming a hater. The fact that AOL does not support linux is also annoying, my mum will not let me change ISP. My pc specs are;

0.4GHZ pentium 2

192mb RAM

XP Professional

I use the latest software, directx 9.0c, adobe reader 7.0 and much more. I use Microsoft office and open office.

But anyway, i wish there was a way around this, because it is a right pain. Unbuntu is the distro i want to use.
