I’ve been hoping that somebody would acquire, license or change the experience of video.aol. They quite possibly have the largest library on the internet and my kids love thei old shows (Bugs Bunny, Wonder Woman), plus I’ve been known to watch both new and old, but the actual experience is often painfully frustrating.
For example: The menus don’t always work correctly. You have to re-enlarge the screen after every commercial and sometimes re-enlarging causes the show to restart from the beginning; etc.

I miss the free drink coasters they used to send.
Somebody tried to tell me there was a browser program on the other side of the coaster and I complained I would not be able to get that square thimg in my drive?
Some people are crazy, I swear!
