:dead: It's deja-vu all over again for me w/ aol...

In a moment of MADNESS I installed aol's 9.0 Security version after they so NICELY sent me the disk...

As before, with EVERY complete installation AOL software took over my system and even when I deleted or removed or threatened my computer w/ my ol' hackneyed cliche of 'I'll pull the plug!" I was no longer even able to guestimate what it would do next...:angry:

Luckily, I learned a trick that works for me and has saved me MANY times. I partitioned 'C' and created a 'D' saving ALL my important files in 'D.' :eek: When in the course of HUMAN events it becomes necessary to wipe and reinstall ALL :ninja:software that my computer came w/....I don't loose my really important stuff: music and pics...docs and:smoker: funn stuff...

AS w/ a multitude of new year's resolutions...I AGAIN affirm that I WILL NEVER take aol installs @ their word... :speechless: :disappointed: :alien:

Not quite sure where it fits in. New member offering advice on an issue he/she had? Applications?
 
why not stick it in the Welcome to OSNN thread? ;)

Speaking of which - welcome you are Stephen...

Good job you seem to have the right idea about AOL - no need for you to get flambéd on your first post :p
 
Ha! Your pain is understood. When I removed my AOL (2000?) the search engines weren't that great so it was hard to get help. So I just did what I knew...reformat!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
