If I had AOL and I had to get rid of it and let's say I had to change my internet provider, I would copy and paste the URL (up top), (I'd paste it into a microsoft word document, naming it NEUROTALK).

Then, when you change providers and you go on the internet, just go to your NEUROTALK document, copy the URL address (stands for Universal Resource Locater, bet you didn't know that did you????).

Then once you are at your home page of your new internet provider, simply paste the address into the thing on top of your screen, then you'll be taken to NEUROTALK. Then you simply put it in your favorite places.

I have Internet explorer 7.0. So if I am at a website that I want to keep, there are two little stars on the left of my screen. The right star is what I click on, it prompts me to save it to my favorite places, and VOILA , I have FAVORITES.

It's much simpler after you change internet providers.

I used to have AOL. It's so easy, anybody can do it, I know. But once you change and learn a new thing, well, you remember it and it's no big deal.

I have Verizon DSL which uses Internet Explorer as the browser.
But other people use FIREFOX, and others.

I like to keep it simple. Now my son on the other hand (and he's autistic mind you), well, he has browsers that he pays for, he has a special kind of modem thing (that he pays extra for), he has firewalls (that he pays for), I could never have or do the stuff he knows how to do. Boggles the mind.
For example, I once called him on the phone and asked him "how do I do updates on Windows XP?" Now there are easy way to do this, (Windows does it automatically and prompts you), or you can do it manually, which is better for the computer, better for your system, but who on earth can do this?? Not me!!! Well, he wasn't even at the computer, he was laying on his bed and he walks me through about 100 steps, one after the other, and I updated my whole system. Took me a good 30 minutes. My son, never even got off his bed to go to his computer. He saw the whole thing in his mind.
I couldn't do this if you gave me a thousand bucks.

He's got a computer set up like I can't imagine. Just too bad he can't apply himself in the workforce. With his brain, he could have made a lot of money.
