TSGL: AOL-question

[Beezersmom at aol.com]

Hi Heidi:
Whoa, are you in the "lion's den" with your friend and myself with having  
AOL.
I've been very rudely "slapped in the face" by one of the members with his  
"25 Worst Things About the Internet" which was quite unnecessary but then I  
considered the source!!  
Let's hope everyone puts aside their total dislike of AOL and try to help  
you and your friend!
As for your friend, I need to know what version of AOL she is using and I  
can only help her if it's AOL 9.0 Security Edition SE.  I don't know if she  
would even use the same help number as I do in the USA. 
I'm hoping that one of our members like  ,justin at whisperer.com.au
or one of our other members might jump  in and help with AOL being used in 
Australia as I know that they go a whole  different way of using AOL than I do.

Hi there  everybody
a friend of mine, living in Australia, is using AOL for her ISP  and she can 
use her internet without any limitations. No question she  could get such for 
cheaper than what she pays now - have told her what  great offers even I 
found on the net for her, but she is totally computer  illiterate and has to 
depend on her 18 years old daughter even with  getting and sending e-mails 
for her. Since the girl now is getting less  helpful and hardly ever finds 
time (likes to?) help mum with her "silly  hobby" (writing to penfriends all 
over the world via e-mail) our  friendship might break as I sure do not want 
to spend lots of money on  postage and wait weeks for my letter to get there 
and weeks for her answer  to get back here plus the weeks in-between it takes 
her to answer anyway.  So now I am wondering if there is a chance anybody on 
the list might be  able to explain in easy words how to get online and read 
and answer your  mails with AOL so I could post that to her via snail mail 
then, hopefully  making it possible for her to go online herself then... 
maybe I am  thinking it to be too easy, but I am just hoping it is possible 
as it  might be "the same" no matter what version of AOL, or 
computer-programs  you have. I know absolutely nothing about their computer 
except that it  must be not really up-to-date as it was cheap and is about 3 
years in her  house now when it was bought used. As I know from explaining 
things to  other computer illiterate friends it is best to use pictures as 
well to  show what to do, I would very much appreciate a picture course on 
how to  do it off-list then!

Hope you can help as usual
have a nice  day
Heidi
