spin off that is being worked on.  I didn't catch it all on radio news this morning.  Did anyone hear what this is about?  My girlfriend just switched from AOL to TimeWarner Roadrunner internet provider. 

Must be something is going on with these two providers.

Let every day be a good day!

Well they merged 10 years ago or so when AOL was a big deal.  Now it sucks and so Time Warner pretty much wrote it off.  (Excluded it from their corporate title)  They are separating again now as separate identities.  I read about this a bit ago so there will likely be more news about it shortly.

Dropped AOL years ago when their support went overseas!   Can't get help from someone who can't speak English.   No

According to Rush 1/3 of their workforce or 2500 workers will be laid-off before the holiday.

I read it online today.  I have AOL through TimeWarner but I use RoadRunner for my connection.

I have had AOL for years and Time Warner (Road Runner) and have 2 e-addys. I rarely use the road runner one.

DS also uses AOL but the "free' one-I don't as most my "favorites" are AOL and I'm afraid if I switch to the free one, I won't be able to get them.
