OT: AOL sucks even more than I thought...

Just had to tell *somebody* (besides the idiots at AOL).  I installed AOl on
my own system yesterday... not because I wanted to, but because I had to
just for a few minutes. After I was done doing what I needed to do, I
removed it. It took forever through their uninstall utility... then I
removed that.

It *changed* the destination for "My Documents" from the destination I had
it set to on a NAS box... to the default location under C:|Documents and
Settings.   It did this without any notice at all. Talk about bush league
programming. This is uttterly stupid. It's no wonder why people think of
them as they do. Complete boobs.

P.S. - Also, as if it matters when they screw up major things like this...
not one bit of their install, or their program is "accessible". Not even the
colors respect your desktop settings. It's as if they hire 5 year olds to
program for them. Although, I think 5 year olds could do better.
