Don’t make me pull this trigger. Anyway, I got an AOL 9.0 (optimized!) CD in the mail, which states “1099 hours FREE!” in huge letters and then in tiny letters, “for 50 days”. Let us figure: if I want to extract the most value from this deal, it means I need to use AOL for 22 hours each day. Hmm, maybe there’s something funny or interesting to say about this, but, um, I’m at a loss… I think the problem is that I touched the CD, and it’s sapping my brain cells remotely. Ah, the CD is pretty, though! Ok, you could PAY me and I wouldn’t want to use AOL for ONE hour in 5,000 days, I don’t care how much they optimize it. (What does that mean, anyway? For all you non-programmers out there, I’m a programmer, and I still have no clue what they mean.) Okay, enough AOL. It induced me to write this (rather lame) paragraph and waste enough of my time as it is. Instead I could be chatting on, uh, AOL Instant Messenger!
