The Computer Is Your Friend: The only way AOL can still make money

AOL threatens former users with mystery bills

The link is to the BoingBoingGadgets article, but the original story is from the Wall Street Journal.

This, it seems, includes people who have signed up for nothing more than AIM service.

Hooray. =P
