AOL Employee Charged With Stealing Names (TechNews.com)

AOL Employee Charged With Stealing Names (TechNews.com)

I've tried to convince my family that AOL is evil and far too expensive. Several times that company has signed my father up for broadband service even though he's never asked, and though we already have a cable internet provider, he still pays the $23 a month for the telephone connection. According to him, he remains a loyal customer because he is familiar with the service. I try to tell him that he could get similar functions for free (E-mail, instant messaging), but several hundred dollars a year isn't enough of an incentive. Of course he complains about spam, pop-ups, and slow connections. What is two plus two? Couldn't tell ya.
