Version: America Online (OS X) 10.2.1
Pros: I don't see any... pros
Cons: It takes probably 4 times to get a connection..No Response From Server the first 4 times. The Browser isn't compatible with several AOL services, and sometimes other webpages, like the core is an outdated Mozilla Browser. Using a different browser Safari, Camino, even FireFox it takes twice as long for pages to load. If a company wants to gain Mac users don't skimp on features or stability. Which is exactly what AOL has done.

Version: America Online (OS X) 10.2.1
Pros: Some limited usefullness to the web browser. IM client liked by some. Includes some limited news

Cons: Very slow, does not support mail saved on PC and other features on os/x. Poor responsiveness of the program is frustrating. I would never use it except my spouse insists and she loves the IM client - I don't understand why, but, that's life!

Version: America Online (OS X) 10.2.1
Summary: I've been an AOL user since 1995, but I'm ready to jump ship. AOL keeps adding bells and whistles I don't care about, but inexplicably many of its basic functions are more cumbersome. Every hour or two, AOL for os X will crash or have to be force qui... read more
