WAOL-min's Timer tries to imitate the way AOL bills you. It adds 15 seconds when you first sign on and then rounds up to the next minute after WAOL-min closes. The newer versions of WAOL shows you the billed time when you exit. This should normally be 1 minute more than what is showing on the WAOL-min Timer since WAOL-min will add the 1 extra minute by rounding up AFTER it exits.

If you want a Timer to track your AOL charges or like to be able to use your computer while doing transfers then this program is for you.

This program is meant to serve two purposes only; The main thing is an AOL Timer to track online time and costs. I had many, many requests for one so I added it. The other item is that it adds the ability to minimize WAOL during File Transfers, Mail receiving, and Flash Sessions. If you like to be able to use your computer while doing transfers, then this program is for you. I do a lot of file uploads, downloads, mail, etc.. on AOL. The makers of the WAOL Software decided not to let people minimize WAOL during some transfers; (The reason is probably due to low system resources and to minimize the impact of other programs during file transfers.) However, if you don't do disk intensive tasks in other programs while downloading from WAOL, you should be able to allow file transfers to occur in the backround while you still use your computer. That's why I originally wrote this program. WAOL software will now let you minimize WAOL during file transfers. WAOL-min then is mainly used as the Timer program although you can still use it as a minimizer during Flash sessions and Mail sessions.
