AOL on Lion: using other ISP s
Do you not have any alternatives to AOL? Using ISP's that require you run some archaic, hardly updated software to get onto the Internet is always going to be a problem..
All modern ISP's just give you a modem that gets you on the Internet and it works regardless of the OS, device and so on..
The problem is we started using AOL years ago. It is on my business cards, colleagues all over the world have these email addresses, utilities, credit cards, etc. It would be a nightmare to change. I use other mails like g mail etc.for junk mail. With the increasing popularity of Macs it would seem to me that AOL could update it's version and issue a fix for Lion.
If you use email addresses in business for years, it is very confusing to change. Social email is different.
I don't like desktop, I preferred the older version which may not run on Lion either, and AOL has quirks and issues, but at least it WORKED. Most third applications update when computer OS are updated.
Time Warner to my knowledge does not provide email, but that is not important. I'm sure there are a lot of AOL users who will be impacted by this incompatibility, who don't want to drop AOL.
I probably should have waited before upgrading to Lion until I saw what the problems were going to be. That's my usual MO lol!
