How to Connect to AOL on an iMac G5
AOL offers two primary methods of connecting to its service on an Apple iMac G5 computer. The first method is through the AOL website, and the other is through AOL's proprietary AOL Desktop software for Macintosh computers. Connecting to AOL via the Web requires only a browser, such as Safari. The AOL Desktop software must be downloaded and installed, and it requires an active AOL account to be fully functional.
