Is your mom "anti_Computer" ?

Oh for gawd's sakes people, it's just a corporate name! They started out in the U.S. calling themselves America Online, and then they expanded to other countries. They don't have to change their names to do that, in fact, it'd be pretty asinine of them to do so. It's just a name, get over it.

They'll have to call it COL- Canada On-Line, or perhaps WOL for World On-Line, but right now AOL ought to be America only.

Unless of course you changed your name to Americanada.

ok.....last time i checked, america is not just USA it's north america as in canada and USA it is united states of america, america is CA & USA...

Damnit you americans think you know everything, chubby mcdonalds craving bastards.....

P.S. not being stereotypical, but seriously 60% of americans are like that, not saying you guys are!

I know they have AOL in places other than the US. I saw a commercial for "AOL Canada". :fear:

My brother does that. It is very annoying. Sometimes when he is on, I ask him to go to gmail for me and he does that. I keep telling him to put it in the bar, but he doesn't. (He's only a year younger than I am). Me thinks that he looks at naughty stuff on the computer and he puts it in the google search engine so that the bar doesn't show the sites that he's been to :P.

I do that too, saves me the trouble of removing the things I actually want to keep in the search bar.

also whoever said it above, rather than go into the URL box, my mom types hotmail.com into google, then clicks the link. Annoys the shit outta me.

My Mum's fine with tech stuff, it's my Dad who's crap.

Someone said that their Mum types the address into the google bar and then clicks the link, that's exactly what my Dad does. Instead of adding to favourites, he'll always do File -> Save As. And for some reason, whenever I go on after him the favourites sidebar is open.

Someone above said their Dad couldn't use XP but could use 95, why not just change it to look like Windows 95? That's what I've done, I can't stand the layout of the new start menu or the teletubbies graphics.

Hmm....dude, thanks. I'll give that a shot next time I go to his house. He's still not going to know what the hell I'm talking about when I ask him to open his web browser, but maybe that might help him struggle through it more easily.
