To be honest, the last time I checked in on-line was years ago. Generally, I use the kiosks at the airport. Why should i waste my paper and ink and the kiosks are quick and convenient. To be honest, given how easy it is to use the kiosks, I've never understood what the advantage was to online checkin. Perhaps if it increased my upgrade chances or something, I'd do it, but I don't see the purpose.
What I really wish was possible would be if Delta would go back to the "pre-September 11th, 2001" plan, which was to essentially do away with "checkin" entirely. They were on the verge of rolling out a system where you'd be able to "checkin" by phone or internet, and use your SkyMiles card at the gate. No paper necessary.
