Oh no Vern, it's not that simple.  If you let them install the AOL, MSN or
Yahoo package they hijack your browser, add all sorts of commercial links to
your favorites folder and install a toolbar so that you'll use them to do
your web searching and, far more importantly, ad serving.  It's like all the
crapware that comes with a new computer Vern, in one way or another they get
paid for loading you up with crap.
