Hi Bee Friends,
 
A little off the subject of bees, beekeeping, and beekeepers but one can
not be part of the information highway without at least knowing some who
use AOL. I agree with all who have said bad things about this company
but I want you all to know that there is a way to use AOL and be a happy
camper. (At least for the time being.)
 
Hardly a day goes by that something is not said in the papers or on the
6 o'clock news on how those poor AOL'er's are having problems getting on
line, busy, busy, busy signals,,, but in all this time there are those
who have had few or no problems and are doing their thing with AOL. They
use the back door so to speak, have internet access from other then AOL
and use the option "bring your own service" and log in direct from the
internet with few problems, and low cost, at least what they pay AOL, I
think it $9.95 a month plus what ever you pay your internet provider. In
this area internet access has dropped to $9.95 a month unlimited and
soon to upgrade from 33.6 to X2 modems so it is fast.
 
The problem AOL is having is the fact they do not have enough modems to
provide service to all those dial up customers they have sold service
too on a unlimited basis when all call at the same time. Their system
overloads, but its their access system and not actually the AOL system
itself so if you can get in the back door you can avoid the problems, at
least until everyone finds out how good it has been, at least here.
