I also dont' quite understand this.  What is so compelling about AOL
email that makes it worthwhile to spend almost $350/year?

I spend $0/year for my email, and if my wife gave me some non-negotiable
argument, i'd still hold my ground.  Your home isn't a business, you're
not going to lose productivity hours (and dollars) getting them to learn
an alternative.  If email is that important, then she could learn to use
a free alternative fast enough.   Perhaps she needs a 12 step plan?  ;)
