Critics say new AOL software interferes with rivals
"CNN is reporting about the joyousness that is the new version of AOL. 
Version 5.0 seizes control of all internet connections on your machine and 
handles all web requests, email, etc. So, if you use your system to connect 
to other ISPs, your business, your school, etc. and you install AOL 5.0, 
yer screwed."


i'm so glad we don't have AOL here in New Zealand.  well, not yet anyway.. eek.
