Yes, Applelink Personal Edition was a great tool for several years.

When they became AOL, I stuck with them.  And when they integrated
with Internet mail, they became my stable email address, and still
are.

Frankly, the continuous decline in service for my purposes is causing
me to think seriously for the first time about getting my own domain.
At least then it would be "portable" and immune to provider whims.

For the time being, I'm going with Comcast (since I already pay them),
hoping that they will see an uptick in their user web pages as a result
of AOLs decision.  That may deter them from discontinuing web site
hosting for a few years...
