Sanders,

I'm glad that you are a satisfied AOL user; you are fortunate to be a
MAC user.

My only intent is to help PC/Windows users to avoid a known problem.
Particularly for Windows users who are -not- highly technical, this
warniong can save them a **lot** of trouble. Another A-30 guy, actually
quite knowledgeable about PC networking, just wrote me that he had to
pay for a consultant for 5 hours at $150/hr to fix his office network
after he tried the AOL 5 Windows upgrade. I'm only trying to save some
fellow sailors and internet users some grief. It does happen that buggy
software gets out, and this is such a case.

Since, strictly speaking this is "off topic," I won't clutter the list
with any further comments related to this.
