Saw that yesterday... not the best list ever, but not awful... not sure if I'd list WinME though. :D I mean, it is the worst version of Windows since 2.0, but I use it and my computer still runs decently so...
Also, I like RealPlayer. I still use it as my main media player -- it blows away Windows Media Player, IMO. I know that it's on their list because of the privacy issues it once had, but they don't do that without consent anymore, so there's not a problem...
And while Zip drives' click-of-death syndrome is a pain, I still like the things as floppy replacements because burning CDs/DVDs is a hassle and normal floppies are too small. I guess thumbdrives and stuff like that are the current answer... but I do wish Zips has been more successful. This computer, and the two we had before it. all had Zip drives in them...
AOL being #1 is a good choice, however. :)
Oh yeah, and those "top lists" which rank #1 first are definitely lame... put it in reverse order, it only makes sense!
