I've had the same email with them for years and years. It's free now (has been for years) so I just kept it for buying shit that makes you give an email account since I don't want my other accounts loaded with junkmail. So basically I use it to collect junk mail and keep intouch with old girlfriends that I'm afraid to give ant new email address to.

My in-laws use AOL for some unknown reason.
They were just visiting for 10 days and they stayed with us the whole time. They would always have their AOL accounts up and every few minutes I would hear "You've Got Mail!".
Man I hate AOL. Back in the day when they used to distribute AOL on floppy discs I would pickup stacks, reformat them, and reuse them....haha.

I think they definitely fit a nitch market. If someone could come up with a new type of AOL proprietary software that had a slick interface and was fully functional, there would be a huge market for it.
AOL is just crappy...but a good concept for the people who are totally technically challenged.

My parents use it. They're both over 70, and I've tried to get them to change, but they just aren't interested in learning something new at this point.
