Aol 3.0 Chat

[allurance]

I've had the same AOL e-mail address 8 years now but check it solely through Outlook. It's not a big deal since the account is on someone else's name.

I have zero use for AOL these days except to chat occasionally in trivia rooms, old friends and whatnot, and up to around 2001 I used solely AOL 3.0 to do that.

On that version (3.0) the fonts were all the same, no garish colors, and text scrolled by much quicker... I could open AOL, chat, and close it without junk piling up on my screen.

Anyway, thanks to OldVersion I have 3.0 up and running. So I click on the familiar two-head-face icon :D to chat and it says the chat software no longer runs on this version.

This is probably a futile question, but is there any way around this? If not, I'll go to the next best thing, 4.0, colors and all.

I never minded the colored text. It makes the message seem more intersting to the eye. Unless the colors are annoying. 4.0 is still good.
