    Post AOL IS WORKING ON AN OPERATING SYSTEM

    Just an FYI

    AOL IS working on there own os, My sectatary was on the phone with them for some reason and got friendly with a tech, he explained to her that they were working on an OS based upon Linux.(makes ya wonder why Microsoft and Aol havent been getting along latley huh)

    oh yeah..hold on.. AOL 7 is in beta.
    AMD,NETSCAPE,NORTONS.. Why are they almost alwalys found together? Possibly the worse software and hardware made to date, (not including AOL)

    Everytime you boot up you have to wade through an hour of ad's before you can start the work day.

    At last, after all these years of waiting, there will finally be an alternative to Microsoft OS that sucks even worse.

    LOL...sounds like that's gonna be a fun OS to work with. I imagine your work day will go something like this:

    1. Power on computer
    2. "Now connecting to OS" screen appears
    3. Wait
    4. Wait some more
    5. "Connection to OS failed, retrying"...
    6. Finally get into OS
    7. Spend 15 minutes closing pop-up ads
    8. Try to figure out which of the cartoony-lookin' icons opens the spreadsheet program
    9. BSOD (complete with "You've got BSOD!" message...hehe)
    10. Reboot
    11. Repeat steps 2 through 7
    12. Repeat step 9
    13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 until you finally go postal, drive to Virginia, and join other enraged AOL OS users in gunning down all AOL employees

    It'll be the end of the world as we know it.

    I was going to post a clever quip of some sort aluding to the fact that AOL making an OS could only make M$ seem like shining angels and what not but I will go with the following post instead.


    Ahem.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    And maybe M$ will start *giving* windows away so they can make more money on their software.

    (Wait! that's Linux's arena. They can't compete at that level..............can they?)
    Stress.... The uncontrollable urge to choke the living $417 out of someone who desperately needs it.

    Ignorance.... The inherent capacity to demand of someone else that which one is too lazy to learn/perform for one's self.

    User....An individual who, through immense proportions of ignorance, create stress.
