>>People can't understand why I have no interest… Reminds me of my experience when Prodigy had their TV ad blitz.

Don, >> Reminds me of my experience when Prodigy had their TV ad blitz. And what about the AOL disk blitz?!! One day I sat down here, and grabbed all the copies they'd sent me and reformatted them, and counted no less than *12* sent to me personally. I've since received at least 8 more, including 2 this week! I guess that's what I get for subscribing to so many computer mags. (I just wish they'd send them blank to save me the trouble of reformatting them. <g>) John

It's faster to just delete the files than to reformat. I do the same. And guess what? I still get AOL disks and I'm already a member.

Don, >> It's faster to just delete the files than to reformat. Yea; I know…it's just that I feel better knowing *everything* is gone, including any new bad sectors or anything else weird that's happened to the disks after coming through the mail. Who knows where they've been or what they've gone through…. John

John, >> I've since received at least 8 more, including 2 this week! << My brother checked out AOL the other weekend. He said he was in some chat room, and someone asked "who's on their free 10 hours?" I guess the "me too's" scrolled for a long time! <g> Paul S.

Hey, I wonder if I could use each AOL disk to get a set of free ten hours? Aw, forget it. I don't have the time for that anyway. — James — Choreo Motion —
