I installed AOL 1.7 on O/S 10.6.8, with no problems. It was my first install on a new Mac. However, the program is a bare-bones platform of what should be a full service platform. There are problems with Mail already read; Attachments (some go easily while others need to be enclosed in a separate folder); Attachments, when added to an email, show up also in the body of an email, which is done automatically by the program, regretfully; and other issues. The graphics on this program are deplorable.

I tried to install AOL 9.0 Optimized on my new Mac, which is an old program I currently run on my old Mac and 2 PC's, which is wonderful. It would be a blessing if AOL would just take this, tweek it for the current operating system, and forget all the time they are wasting and losing with poor customer satisfaction.

I have been an AOL customer for 25 years, but my patience is wearing out. Shame, shame on AOL for introducing such a poor-quality, inferior piece of software.

Just because once upon a time AOL outlived its usefulness doesn't mean that it can't reinvent itself into something worthwhile. I'm willing to try this with that in mind.

Which Mac users asked for a commitment from AOL? Anyone?

In case anyone isn't sure just what this is, it's AOL's version of the Internet. If the Internet can be symbolized as an alley cat, then AOL is a pampered, neutered and de-clawed house cat that is never permitted outdoors.

Please note folks, this release is BETA and may well have all the pitfalls that entails.

I have not tried this version, so I have no comments in that regard. I do have opinions about AOL, but will express them elsewhere, as most of you are, I presume, looking for User feedback, and not my editorial musings.

Wait a minute, didn't they go out of business a few years ago? I thought dial-up was dead.

Wow, an AOL & Real Player release in the same day?! Did I get sent back to 1998?

No doubt! I actually dropped AOL about 15 years ago for a dial-up UNIX shell account!
