Thought I would share with everyone something that
happened on Tuesday night ... and I hope that you will all pass
this to other AOL members.
While I was online Tuesday night, I was sent me an IM and
told me to checkout the profile of another AOL user named
CRAZY70707. Not really thinking much about it, I pulled the
profile up ... and in big red letters, the word "FROZEN" was at
the top of this profile. At first, I thought it was some kind of a
joke, but when I went to click the profile off of my screen...I
couldn't do anything...I was, as the profile said, frozen.
I sat for a few moments thinking the joke would go away and I
could continue my time on AOL. This wasn't the way it was
going to happen. The only way I could get out was to
cntrl/alt/delete. When I was able to log on again, my
computer was sluggish so I logged off again. A few hours
later when I decided to try again...I clicked on my AOL icon
and a warning came up that I would need to reinstall AOL...it
had been completely wiped from our system.
When Alan got home, he called AOL to see if they could tell
what happened. When he told the AOL rep about
CRAZY70707, she pulled the profile up and guess what...as
you might have already guessed...her computer froze up as
mine did. We had to reinstall 4.0 and 5.0 again ... and we all
know how much of a pain that is. We have lost everything in
our download file, as well as everything stored in our favorite
places.
I am sending this as a warning to you all. Do not pull this
profile up...whoever this person is, he's an idiot ... he's been
reported and I am hoping that AOL is smart and will
discontinue his membership. In the meantime, however, don't
get stuck in the same mess that we were ... and, by all means,
pass this to as many people as you can.
