That is an EXCELLENT point, Tara, and one which had pretty much escaped me until your post. I personally learned a LITTLE about computers from my days in the Army (this was pre-Internet, when the only thing "Internet-like" was BB's), and then learned a LOT more when I took a job with a traveling inventory company that relied HEAVILY on laptops. My FIRST "ISP" was Prodigy (I hated it), and within a week I switched to AOL, which I loved for about a month, and then it just got boring (the "spoon-fed" analogy is RIGHT ON here).

I always figured it was because "AOL is so easy to use, no wonder it's #1!" The simplicity of it means that the subscribers don't have to learn how to do things outside the realm of AOL unless they want to. When I first got my computer, I was on my college's LAN, so I had to figure out how to set everything up for myself...
