Why all the vitriol?

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

Not only are you taking pot shots and making disparaging remarks about the developer and the programmers trying to catch up after many year of neglect, but you’re also criticizing those of us, for whatever reason, choose to still use AOL. There ARE reasons, but listing them would just invite more criticism.

Get over yourselves. If you don’t have anything good to say or can’t offer constructive feedback, there’s really no need for you to post comments. Get a life.

Why all the vitriol? - MacGuffin

I still use it, but their stupidity drives me insane, including the new AOL.com (there was almost nothing wrong with the previous incarnation; it was beautiful and needed only some minor tweaking). I'm sticking to 10.3.7, which still works on my G4, albeit imperfectly. I like the way it looks and I'm unwilling to take a chance on on a beta and an interface I'm bound not to like. I agree with you, though, that the slamming by non-users is unhelpful, non-constructive, and juvenile.

This product is junk! That's why!

You want a browser, use Safari or Firefox!
You want an AIM chat client, use iChat or Adium!
You want to get your AOL mail just use Apple Mail, works fine!

So...the question back to you is with their history above of supporting Mac users, why do you celebrate this attempt!
