Egads -- a *real* AOL client for Linux. Hopefully, we'll never see this.
The last thing we need is to dumb down the Linux community with a piece
of software that self-promotes itself as "The easiest ever -- even your
pet rock can use it".
AOL on Linux would further support the theory that we are being fattened
up and dumbed down for the impending Alien Horde(tm).
Resistance is futile.
