This text provides a reference for advanced AOL users and sophisticated beginners. AOL often buries its best features to make the software "easier." This text shows how to uncover these powerful features to unlock AOL 4.0's potential. The text aims to enable AOL users to make informed choices as they use the software and the service. It answers questions - not just the most common ones - in an easy-to-understand reference style. This book is for anyone who's getting bored by AOL or for members who don't feel it meets their expectations. It shows how to get the most out of each of AOL's tools, including Buddy Lists, Instant Messages, email, chat, message boards, newsgroups, and AOL's integrated Web browser. It covers features that many AOL users shy away from due to lack of documentation, such as FTP, Telnet, and alternative Web browsers. Most entries are accompanied by a list of benefits and drawbacks, so you can decide for yourself how to use each feature. It shows how to use and modify AOL to suit your needs, not the needs of AOL. You'll learn how to: customize AOL so it works the way you want it to; work around scores of annoying idiosyncrasies; avoid unwanted email and Instant Messages; actually understand parental controls; and turn off intrusive advertisements. Each topic is divided into concise, distinct chapters, designed to help you find the information you want at a glance. You can use it as a day-to-day quick reference, or go further in-depth with the extensive cross-referencing system.
