    Jesus Google, you're top 3 in Email... maybe you can give us fucking push now? The lowest one on the damn chart offers one of the most superior features that you continue to lack. #creditscores

    @Barclay Hygaard: Thanks for that link. I looked into it, but it requires you to enter it in as MS exchange, which I'm already using for my business email.

    Why can't they simply enable push for all users the way Yahoo does? #creditscores

    I use Yahoo and Hotmail just because they are web based and my credit score is higher than this chart even goes. Once again, I screw up the "norm". #creditscores

    Whats the low end of a credit score? I don't know since I dont worry about mine being low (and I dont want to find out the low the hard way), but the commercials on TV say "650-850" but Yahoo's average is below 650... wtf. #creditscores

    @phunnyballs: It can go as low as 300, and as high as 900. But most scores are around the 600-700 range these days. If you pay your bills in full every time, have no debt, keep everything in order, you should easily have an 800 or more. #creditscores

    @AnalysisDialysis (and a MudkipNDS): Those things make dandy Christmas decorations. Tie them back to back (shiny side out) with some kind of decorative cord, and festoon your balcony or your yard. We've done that for years. What makes me laugh is that just about every year someone steals some of them off our trees out front. I chose the most ridiculously dead-end, no-chance CDs for the project, so what they're getting is trade show catalogs from the 90s, mis-burned data disks from my daughter's roommate's Masters project, AOL CDs, DOS based software from the DAK catalog, etc etc etc. I wonder what the thieves thought they were getting?

    @Anrkist: They're still around, although they pulled the plug on the Compuserve classic service at the end of June. Because that's what smart companies do, give their longest-term subscribers the summary heave-ho. Yeah.

    @AnonJr: AOL got its start as QuantumLink, which licensed proprietary software from PlayNet, a Commodore 64 only, 300 baud only, nighttime only network. That's where all the ridiculous limitations and feeble design choices came from, and nobody bothered to do much to change them.

    @UltimateIdiot - Imperfection at Best: When I read that I wondered if you were somewhat kidding, since they're both owned by News Corp. However, it's my understanding that anyone who uses the phrase "Faux News" this many years after some clever guy thought of it is an idiot, as your name suggests, and you likely had no idea they were related.


    Keep riding the "don't think for yourself" bandwagon, though; it's working for you.

    Do you suppose AOL will change their name back to Quantum Link just to get in touch with the days when they were on the cutting edge and everyone liked them?


    I almost feel sorry for AOL, much like I almost feel sorry for Microsoft. Almost.
