Have you ever attempted to do something on America Online---whether just checking your e-mail, looking up information on a stock, or trying to post something on a message board, and America Online just waits, not doing ANYTHING and not allowing you to do anything, with your normal cursor transformed into a constantly spinning beachball? The worst part is that you can't cancel your previous action, and you can't tell America Online to STOP WAITING. If you receive an Instant Message while America Online is waiting, you can't answer it; while America Online is stalling, sometimes for several minutes at a time, you can't really do anything---and you can't even sign off.
StopWaiting for AOL changes all of this. By hitting three keys on your keyboard, you can immediately tell America Online to stop waiting. And thus you can proceed to do other things. StopWaiting can probably end up saving you countless minutes or hours of time. Instead of waiting, you can be "doing." Start using America Online without the hassle of needlessly waiting.
Setup
To start using StopWaiting, drag it (just the StopWaiting control panel, not the entire folder) into your Control Panels folder of your System Folder. Then, restart your computer, and StopWaiting will be in action. Once installed, when you want to stop AOL from waiting, you just need to hit Command-Option-Period. Complete instructions are available in the StopWaiting control panel, by clicking the "Help/Info..." button, and are also available in a file called "StopWaiting Documentation."
StopWaiting is shareware, and costs $10. Please see the control panel (or the Register StopWaiting application) for more information, in order to send your registration to Kagi Shareware.
