does anyone have an aol cd lying around?

hi my boyfriend wants to set up his computer with aol - he has an
installation cd but has lost the packaging - does anyone have one lying
around that they could send me the access code and password from??!
(USA please)
thanks!

Not necessary. Go to http://www.aol.com/ and click the "Join AOL" link
near the top of the page. He can sign up for his 3-month trial offer
there.

That said, there are much better options out there for internet access.
(Indeed, pretty much all of the others are better options.) Is there a
particular reason he wants AOL?

 

well... he just wants the free trial for now - i'm moving in in a month
and we'll sort out something better then, but for now he just wants
internet and aol seemed the most obvious as he already had the cd and
could get the free trial. as he doesn't have access at the moment, he
can't get to the aol website to click the link! just thought as there
are so many of those cds in circulation, someone must have one that
they can mail me the code and password from!
my email's if anyone can help!

 

AOL? Your boyfriend is a wuss. Get a new boyfriend. Stop reading.

OK, you're ignoring my advice.

Where I live -- Baltimore-Washington area -- one gets AOL disks at
computer stores, office-supply stores, supermarkets and lots of other
places -- whether one wants them or not.

er ok then. some nice person sent me a code anyway, so all sorted.
don't see anything wrong with aol when you can abuse their free trials!!

 

Bwahaha.... trust me, once you sign up, you can't cancel. When you
try, they will keep offering you more and more free months until you
give in and agree to keep it "just in case." I got 9 free months out
of them at one point...

Still, even after you get broadband, AOL Radio is a genuine reason to
keep at least a minimal AOL subscription. It includes most all of the
XM Satellite Radio music channels plus a number of AOL-exclusive
stations, and it's free with even the cheapest AOL account (which is
the $4.95 "limited use" plan you have to ask for specially). Each
account can have 7 screen names, so you can split the $60 a year with
friends and family to enjoy really nice Internet radio on all your
computers (and you can flag the other screen names using Parental
Controls so they can't actually log into AOL and cost you money). In a
switch from the way life usually works out, there's a Mac client
application just for AOL Radio, while Windows users are stuck with a
Web client. Very much recommended.

 

Hm, I bet if you tell 'em you're going to cancel they'll give it to you
for $4.95 again. I did the same thing when they raised "bring your own
access" from $9.95 to $11.95 and they gave me six free months and
dropped it back down to $9.95.

Still, $7 a month divides rather neatly by 7 screen names for AOL
Radio.

The retention people at AOL are paid a commission for each customer
they keep (I heard it was in the double digits, though this was
hearsay), and they are authorized to give you a TON of concessions.

 

Did you check real networks radiopass? It is similar.

Yes, they used to be buddies with Spinner until AOL acquired them,
thats where you will remember channel names like [email protected]

I am yearly subscriber for couple of channels and also too lazy to pirate
