That's a bit of an extreme remark Tim. There are millions of computer programmers in the world, who do not know or care to try to learn how to operate AOL. Not every programmers is a Windows programmer. Myopic view of "understanding computers". I could just as well opine, that people who don't know how to relink bombed Pascal pointers "don't understand computers".

In fact I just sent a nasty-gram to the people at JustAnswers.com who, in deciding whether you are a "Computer Expert" ask you eight questions about Windows ! What a bunch of noodles.

AOL = Satan They are out to destroy all life and light.

Last time I checked, you could use any email client you liked when connected to AOL, you only have to use the broken one they supply if you don't understand how to use computers.
