AOL 6 month free on Dell
Bubba
something (MSN, AOL, ?). I already have an ISP
and do NOT want AOL. I can not get straight answer
from Dell rep about what happens if I do not click on
the icon and six months are over. Would I start getting
charged by AOL? My question is did Dell pass on my
credit card info to AOL. They would not answer.

If you did, you must cancel before the six months end, or you will be
charged.

with a single-use credit card number. When I activated AOL (I wanted
to see what AOL 8 looked like) I had to give them a number. You have
to activate AOL for it to go into effect. Then they start charging
you 6 months later.

Your "selection" just told Dell what freebie icon/shortcut to put on
your desktop. If you haven't clicked on it, just delete it and forget
about it. I suspect you haven't, because you'd know the answers to
the rest of your questions. Clicking would have taken you to an AOL
sign-up web site, where you would have received details of the 6
months free usage, any limits on it, set you up with your User ID and
password, etc.; they'd have probably collected your credit card info,
and given you instructions on what is probably a highly complex way of
telling them, when the six months is nearly over, that you don't want
to use AOL on a permanent, paid basis.
Thus my original recommendation, If you haven't clicked on it, just
delete the desktop shortcut. Actually, IIRC there were a whole slew
of those icons/shortcuts on my original desktop, the current "freebie
tryouts" from Dell's current "partners". All of them led to a
"freebie" folder. Deleted the icons, deleted the folder, and never
had a second thought about it.
