    This is a very odd question/request to ask. I recently purchased a dell for my mother, and being the geek I am, first think I did was throw away the AOL cd it came with, thinking nothing of it other than it being AOL. Well a week later she comes to me and tells me she wants to switch back to AOL.

    So my question is, is there a way to Signup for the trial that comes with your new dell after you tossed the cd and formatted the machine?

    I was able to download an installer from Dells site but it requires some sort of CODE for new accounts, which is on the back of the AOL CD. So does anyone who recently purchased a dell and plans on tossing the cd out, mind if I use their code for the trial?

    Kinda Funny :p

    Since I live Off-the-Grid, I suppose I could mail you my AOL CD.

    Are you using dial up? If yes why bother with AOL.. Netescape only $9.99 a month.

    The 6-month AOL subscription is free and you can cancel anytime before the six months is up. Might as well take advantage of six months free internet access.
