AOL 4.0: An Old Online Service Learns New Tricks
From a Web-inspired interface to robust e-mail, the new version of AOL should please all but the most advanced users.

The question is, are these changes enough? Everything from log-in scripts to e-mail has been tweaked, making AOL easier to use and more powerful. But don't expect too much. While the new options provide many of the features found in popular stand-alone e-mail and browser programs, advanced users will still be compelled to surf elsewhere.
