I played low-limit holdem on VC Poker yesterday evening for about an hour. One player got a pair of aces twice and another got a pair of aces once. Should I be suspicious of the dealing software on this site?

You should be utterly unsuspicious. Aces are dealt 1 time in 220 hands; therefor, if you played 66 hands at full ring, you should see 3 pairs of aces at the table on average.
I have had AA 3 times in 4 hands once, but even that's going to happen from time to time (it's worth noting that in 100k hands this has only happened to me once, but it has happened).
It'w worth finding articles online on how probability works, especially in a poker context. The gist of it is that if you play lots and lots of hands, extremely unlikely events will happen several times. THIS IS GOOD AND PROPER.
Think of a lottery where 1 ticket in a million wins. That means that one person will receive a million-to-one bonus! It's massively unlikely but it WILL happen. That's the case at poker too, where a regular player will see hundreds of thousands of hands.

Also, no major commercial poker sites are rigged. None of them. The day you accept this and recognise that the deck is NEVER stacked against you is the day that you can start to become an able player.

I think that one time I had KK dealt to me 11 times in around 900 hands. That was KK 11 times in a span of 3 or so hours. It was pretty nice!

I played a small live tourney last weekend in which a player at my table was dealt AA four times and flopped quads once. It happens live and it happens online, but that doesn't mean it's rigged.

I was at a table a few months ago where a guy got dealt AA 5x in one orbit. Unfortunately, the 5th time he got AA I was holding AK and we got into a pf raising war. I thought for sure he couldn't have AA again so I took him allin pf and I lost my stack.

I like getting AA so even if it is rigged I wouldn't care because I got AA more than I'm suppose to.

I just went almost 400 hands without AA, then I get them twice within seven hands.

Two days ago at a 5+.5 SnG at PS, pocket rockets were dealt 6 times (at least, who knows who mucked after no one called the PF raises) in about 90ish hands. That was a wild table...

I'm having a hard time adjusting to this. I can't mentally connect the two. I would say you adopted the person, ala Fnord and Rumsfeld.

Correction... got them twice now, the AA's and guess what, both times cracked by flushes  (prf ai's).
And while I am typing I received the third one, made a small pot with it...
Well, that's poker they say

yesterday I was 4tabling and had AA on three of them at once.
I did a "Print Screen" but I don't know where XP stores these caps. Little help? It's no longer on my clipboard, 'cause I got another screen cap a bit later.

I think it's gone, because after the print screen you need to paste them in some paint program and save them...
