Actually, the best part of AOL now, as far as I'm concerned, is XM Radio. I've been with AOL since the dawn of time and had my email address way too long. I just couldn't cut the ties because of that. Of course, for the past couple of years I've had a bring your own broadband plan and paying a minimum to maintain the email account. Still, it is great to get rid of that bill after all these years.
I was not a happy Time Warner shareholder when they bought AOL; even I knew it was a bad buy.
