Danny, I beg to differ. When I took delivery of my first PC circa 2000, the first disc I came across in the packaging was the AOL disc. In it went and AOL has been fine ever since. The upgrade to BB (delivering about 4 Megs) went fine with the Netgear router they provided and I have never (touches wood) had any problems with Pprune - apart from some self inflicted ones in the early days due to my own incompetence.
Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule!!
Cheers all,
