AOL email was a center piece of a movie.

AOL is hard to clean off my computer.

Dan are you a closet AOL user?

AOL might make it easier for some people, but in some ways it fails at this too.

Having everything together (web, e-mail, etc. in one app) with simple, obvious icons, etc. is a good idea for that kind of user, but AOL (these days at least - or last time I saw it) clutters it up with too many ads and other junk (especially proprietary AOL content) that it's still too confusing for a lot of people.

IMHO, the ideal would be two simple interfaces in the app (with big buttons on the side or something to switch between them) - simple web browser email.

I'd like to say that the time for this has come and gone, and everyone should just be able to understand the concept of "the internet", and separate "connection" from applications, etc. but I know that's not the case, and that's fine.
