    Why would anyone with a Mac put this mess on the machine?
    The Windows version is bad enough, Eeeek!

    I've started calling it the freeze me up bundle.

    All of AOL software is Beta. Who would ever put a RC on crap. Last desktop for Mac was bad and this one is no better. Who really needs AOL software running on their computer? Even if some of the few who still use AOL, why even bother with the software? A good web browser like Safari or Firefox will run much better and use less resources.
