A Happy Camper
I have been messing around with home pages, bookmarks, tabs, contact lists --- its a big pain. Then I called AOL to cancel my dial-up service. I learned that I can still access my old aol page by just connecting to it only the dial-up is missing. I can keep my whold set up, tool bars, address books, email, everything. I love those people.

no where else in the world will you see that last sentence associated with AOL.
What is the difference in cost?
AOL services are now all free except for their dial up web access. Anyone can now have an AOL email account for free and use their instant messaging. (Thank you Google). Sooo. You do not need to change your email address or address book/contact list as you indicated in your last posting.
John, I knew that I was going to be able to use my email etc. but I thought it was going to be like when I logged in to aol.com from a different computer. I am delighted that I get to keep using the same welcome screen.
Marcel, the initial start up cost was 79.99 before rebate. I have yet to know how much rebate there will be. I sent in the card but there was no mention of the amount of rebate.
The monthly cost is $14.99 for the first year. After that I don't know but Gretchen said that her second year went up to $15.49 per month. I was paying aol $9.95 per month for the dial up privilege.
...Plus the cost of a more modern computer that has nice features like a CD burner, USB ports, faster processor, etc. :-)
I switched from Netzero dial up to Verizon high speed DSL about 18 months ago because I wanted to free up my phone line while surfing the web. I was paying Netzero $10/month before I switched to Verizon for $14.95/month. Start up was free if I continued for one year. After one year Verizon raised my rate to $17.99/month. I,ve heard that they will raise it to about $22/month soon. If they do I may switch to AT&T DSL.
