I am at my in-laws in IN [that is the kind of alliteration that I dream of using on a daily bases].  They have teenage girls which means that they have AOL.  This is part of standards compliance for teenager girls apparently.  I am logging in on my wireless laptop at least.  However, AOL totally barfed on my older version installed on this laptop.  All it did was log me into their network and give me internet access.  None of the AOL crap loaded up.  None of the crap was blinking, popping, fading in and out, or demanding my attention.  It is beautiful.  It is the first time AOL has brought a smile to my face in a long, long time.
