To offset people that are shills for AOL I will finally provide a real review. Not as good a browser as Safari, not as good a AIM client as iChat, not as good an email client as Apple Mail. If you don't mind ads everywhere and you can't manage to make your own bookmarks etc., to AOL/AIM sites, then this is for you! Otherwise move on...

I am reviewing the software here. I really could care less how one person "feels" about AOL. This software is useful and works well on my Intel Mac. No crashes and it is a good all-in-one experience.
