It's like radio: Some people are content to tune in to their favorite FM
station and listen to the Top 40 or "easy listening" music; whereas others
prefer to get ham radio licenses and explore the medium to its fullest.
Interesting analogy..
As long as there are still ways to get the "raw" connections that I prefer,
I don't really care if most people are satisfied with AOL and its
clones--that's their choice.
Well.. obviously you're not a ham operator - most of the ones I know are
quite zealous about complaining when another operator does anything out
of spec.. ;)
It's interesting that the major complaint from the non-AOL crowd isn't about
AOL's existence, it's about interoperability problems. Quite similar to the
average ham operator....
