Wouldn't touch such a language with a 10 foot pole.  :-)

Wouldn't touch AOL with a 100 meter pole.  :-)

Ever since the 3.0 & 3.1 days, every system that I ever saw that had
AOL installed, was FUBARed in some manner.  It was usually easier to
reinstall the system than to try to get rid of AOL.  :-)

BTW, DslReports.com (I think it was) used to have a speed tester, If
you really care about that.
