Comments on: AOL slims to grow

Imminent layoffs--of more than 700 workers--may help America Online grow as subscriptions deline.

Good

If only AOL and anyone who has subscribed with them, where banned from the internet.

Once they are gone, then MS fanboys can be banned, although I suspect that most MS fans are AOL users. :)

Where

Did you ponder that up.

Nah...

I'm a Microsoft fan....But I don't use AOL and it's grade-school features. I use MSN Premium.

Not really

I'm also an MS fan and I've always been pleased with their products and services (the only exception being Clippy), but I won't touch AOL with a ten-foot pole.

I tried AOL way back in 1998 and, upon installation, I was greeted with exactly this:
"Welcome! You've got-You've got-You've got-Goodbye!"
At which point the program crashed to desktop. Between that, the dummied-down internet experience, a clunky interface, the infamous inactivity timer, and the fact that my brother and I couldn't play EverQuest with it (the program counted that as inactivity, apparently), my family mutually decided to give AOL the boot.

Fire more workers

Thats the new corporate strategy is to fire some people to make more money. They tried that at AT&T and Lucent and see how it helped them grow!

Will AOL improve customer relations?

Either 22 million subscribers are pleased with their service or 4 million subscribers discovered the secret procedure to cancel? Wow... 4 million in four years. That's about 2 customers every minute, 365 days a year. hmmmm...
