Apology

I owe those dumpfucks at AOL an apology.
Now it looks like it was my machine that was screwed-up after all. God I hate it when I am wrong. And, I was the worst kind of wrong - stubborn, annoyed and probably a little insensitive after 3 or 4 frosty Sierras.

Well, the nice kid at the Taipei help desk followed-up with me personally and politely offered a few suggestions about cleaning up my temporary internet files folder and to re-set some settings that had probably been tinkered-around with by some spamination popup adware.

I also deleted the Mozilla browser and related files from my system. I think it is highly over-rated in terms of functionality and a pig to run. Ever since I installed it my system has been running slower and more clunkily.

The kid was good. He was genuinely sorry about the problem I was having. Despite my previously loutish behavior. It kind of makes you humble to be forgiven by a stranger.
My system runs fine now. Thanks to the helpful guy on the outsourced AOL help desk.
