Hi Fred and Rooters,

I can bear witness to the dangers of installing AOL 5.0 if you have other
network browsers or software previously installed. I tried this the week the
new version came out. It seized control of my computer, changing many settings
and configurations and making it impossible for me to utilize Netscape. It took
me hours to uninstall the new AOL version, change my settings, etc. back to what
I wanted them to be, and reinstate Netscape as my principal brower. I wouldn't
touch AOL 5.0 with a ten foot pole.
