43 million users were effected between 10-4PM today with AOL email services. Any idea what exactly was the nature of thier glitch. ..this is a major service degradation and failure point

"Millions of AOL users encountered delays sending and receiving e-mail for several hours Thursday before the company identified and fixed a software glitch. "

No effect to me, Ich bin AOL Benutzer nicht[I am not a AOL user, I guess this is how to say it, just a GTranslator test].

"Ich bin kein AOL-Benutzer" would be the German way to say it :)
I once told someone from the US that we have America OnLine in Germany too and he thought I was kidding him!

another good reason to drop those bozos. when I got my first dell in 97..it came with aol. since i didnt know any better, i popped it right in there.

(this was 33.6 dial-up.)

i thought, 'why am i paying for this?'

in 2006, i would ask myself the same question.
