point cast rocked. It was the only form of an electronic newspaper around, that is, I could connect my laptop online, synch it, and then goto my job where I could kill 2 hours reading it offline. Screen saver might have been buggy, but who would use the screen saver? well aside from it being enabled when its installed, you should disable it, theres no point in having it, especialy since it loaded most of the programs code and it was a pretty big program.
I think everyones been on AOL at some point or another. I actually was on it back in the hayday. You see, AOLs parent company is..or was called quantum computer services, the makers of Q-link, the online service for the C64 of wich I spent so much time and money on. I heard about aol from my friends on Qlink and when I got my first pc, I picked it up. So I was on AOL when it didnt even have net access yet (I think email was able to transcend to the net. ) I had it for a little while, but the hourly charges sucked, and I wanted net access so I droped AOL for my first ISP, a national startup called Cris BBS (running major BBS, we could run 4 player Doom2 games and a full shell, and it had fake SLIP for TCP/IP winsock access). I droped Qlink and sold my C64 and games for a lightning fast 14.4 best data modem for my 486.
Windows ME, I ran it on many older laptops, allways worked fine for me (though a few of the installs did suddenly became corrupt and killing windows compleatly). ME allways seemed like a Win98 with all the current patchs and updates to IE.
