Help for people on AOL, or people who have just quit AOL

Many AOL users do not realize that they can use Microsoft Internet Explorer or, Firefox to surf the internet, even while subscribing to AOL. To surf the web while using Internet Explorer or Firefox, simply connect to AOL as usual. Once connected, just minimize AOL, then open Internet Explorer or Firefox. You can now access websites using your AOL internet connection, but using Internet Explorer or Firefox instead! Although this sounds simple, many of the GrownUpGeek's customer that subscribe to AOL were not aware of this!
