More of AOL’s Free Crap

Going out on a limb here, but… “When the Internet first became available outside of educational institutions, workaday users needed some kind of friendly interface to get online. Trumpet Winsock was an absolute nightmare to explain (and configuring Kermit was far more unfriendly). However, AOL needs to wake up to the fact that users no longer need advertising-laden software to get themselves online. Offering me “usefulâ€? software that’s just as riddled with advertisements is not a step in the right direction…”

Using GoToAssist is the easiest way to view and control another person's computer online. Use it to provide instant technical support to family, friends and customers. Start a session with just one click, and instantly connect with the other party.

None of the AOL ish is free b/c you can _only_ run it on a non-free OS ;)

Good lord, I remember Trumpet Winsock. Getting it to work was a pain. Getting it to work with outside applications (like the then infantile mIRC) was even more of a pain.
