again, minimal notice, no good automatic alternative options to sign up for, manual migration paths, or even data export, and certainly no long term strategy in the news or on their site that would let one anticipate such bullshit.
well. i had been considering changing to another system anyway, since this was the last tie-in i had to my paid aol account. i wonder when they are going to close up shop altogether.
now, with aol communicator dying (i still haven't transferred everything, there are "issues"), i'm not sure what shape i'm going to be in shortly.
bill paying: change to a desktop app ? use another online service ?
*grumble*
