I can't get my AOL mail because I refused cookies...

So, no email for me.

What do I do? They didn't offer me a button to check to accept cookies. And I didn't know it was a thing I had to do to get my freaking email.

Any suggestions?

AOL gave me a BSOD on my brand new Windows 98 Micron PC, and I lost all sorts of freebie software during the re-installation.

I was down 2 days fixing it and feel I should have been able to sue the bastards for mailing shit out to prospective customers that crashes perfectly good machines. I hate AOL and get PTSD whenever I see the letters AOL together.

I was super annoyed because I was in the middle of a very important email to my daughter about the cover design and contents page of my book and I had to tear myself away for the debate. Just finished the email to my daughter and it's 11:20...

I basically couldn't be bothered with such nonsense. I have had fine service up until now.

But all is well now.
