Step out of the realm of

web-based email clients. Download Thunderbird from Mozilla and the only ads you'll see are the ones in your email (if any).

This has nothing to do with AOL, which still charges more for dial-in access than many DSL connections now. The previous poster is right, AOL provides one view of the internet (as well as many other 'services' that are not the internet). The result of this is that a lot of people think AOL is the internet. Many of them don't know, for example, that you can run any internet app on your PC while connected to AOL (Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Yahoo Messenger, whatever).
