About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Curt Degenhart is a writer and editor at Songline Studios' East Coast office in Cambridge, MA. Besides separating the wheat from the chaff of his AOL projects, he writes advice to the lovelorn at MixnMatch.com, manages databases, hunts down the best of broadband, and daydreams. Curt's foggy about how his life evolved from concentrating in psychology at Vassar to writing about what's online, but he knows there must be a really good explanation. Jen Muehlbauer is a writer and editor at Songline Studios, an affiliate of O'Reilly and Associates. When not knee-deep in AOL, she writes about geeky topics such as broadband Web sites and happy couples who met on the 'Net. Before moving to Boston and settling into 9-to-5 life, Jen was a coffee-chugging English major at Wesleyan University.
