[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1184439"] I have to point out that whatever you may think of AOL -- and I don't think much of it -- it is completely free of charge and has been for years. They're not an ISP anymore. AOL Desktop is an attempt by AOL to move most of its services into the default Mac apps where they should have been all along. The Address Book on AOL moves into Address Book, the email moves into Mail and so forth. This is probably what is confusing the OP. Look over the help pages on AOL's own site and it will probably smooth the transition. I frankly don't expect AOL to last too much longer but if you want to stick with it to the end, just remember that AOL Desktop isn't *intended* to be like the old AOL program, it's designed to *integrate* AOL into your "real" internet experience. I think that's the key to understanding it. [/QUOTE]
