I just remember that if I saw a graphic or style or whatever that I liked, I would look at the page source and copy it to notepad and save it for later

I remember going over to my exes house, she had put a curtain made of AOL free internet cds over one of the doors. She was a hippy, cheating bitch. We also used to shoot at those things.

Yes their bussiness model is based around the fact that old people (like my dad) are scared to stop paying for the service because they have had the same email address for the past 20 years and what will people do if they have to change thier email address? I'm serious about this:

My dad has been paying $10 a month for the past decade, and $25 a month for the decade before that. Here is the kicker, he's had broadband through cable company since somewhere around 2000 so he hasn't had to pay for it since then. The only reason he pays that money is that he doesnt want to loose his email address.

Why is Bryant Gumbal the same color of orange as the wood behind him? He and Katie Couric both look like Oompa Loompas

I used to use the free AOL cd's as coasters.

I was on compuserve. Went to MSN like two years later. Stayed there til we got high speed cable.

Speaking of AOL, there was a civil engineer (female) at work that's Russian. She was still on AOL a year ago and paying for 25 hours a month. When we found out, we laughed excessively. We had a bunch of fun explaining to her how many years had passed since everybody started offering unlimited hours.

If you knew this lady, you knew she would never say something like this as a joke, this was completely serious.

ISP's are pretty much a thing of the past now too... all taken over the by the cable/phone companies. Mine ran the sweetest local BBS too.
