No, no, what I'm saying is my time is correct with -2 as well.  I've been saying that all along.  It indeed is your board, since it says the current universal board time (not my time, the board time) right now is 4:52, which obviously isn't right if you're in the Eastern Time Zone, Gary.  Gil's been saying this all along.  Why would it be -2 in your time zone anyway?  Shouldn't it be -1 there?

Forget it, it's a dead issue now.  Everyone's time works :)  If you get on AIM, Gary, I'll tell you there.
No, Dan, the time is set correctly here.

Trust me, if you were to go back to Dial-Up you'd be back to your current connection within a day. ;) :lol:

Depends on what company. With some its still going for as much as $25 a month. Either way, its money I'd rather spend on something else.

$25 a month? Now thats a complete ripoff. You can get DSL for that price.

Yep it is a ripoff. The company that charges that $20 or $25 a month is AOL, and its a wonder they have any business at all. The folks that stay with them must either not have access to DSL, or just don't know how badly their being ripped off.

Yeah really. I would never pay $25 just to hear the modem noise.

When I had AOL, I called to cancel, and they lowered my monthly bill from $25 to $13.99 a month LOL. Then when I upgraded to AOL Highspeed, I remembered how I got lucky the last time, so I called to cancel and the lowered my price again! Then I actually got smart and dumped AOL together for Verizon DSL - and then I got even smarter and upgraded to Verizon FiOS. :P

The folks at AOL must be clueless. :rolleyes:
