All AOL is is chat rooms anyway, and the Instant Messages. If there are any AOL
users that stick to AOL for only this reason please E-Mail me and I will list
lots of chat rooms on the internet and you can download the instant messanger,
I have it, my IM handle is Viper3695. Really, that is all that AOL is about.
Now, they may cancel the Instant Messanger some day (for regular internet
users), but then there still is ICQ and some other things, and maybe I will make
an instant-message thing for AW users (I have a VC++ compiler and i gotta use it
for SOMETHING...). OK I went too much into detail. sorry its late and my mind
is rambling and so are my fingers. I think I will go write a bot or somehting
now goodnight.
