The topic about You've Got Mail reminded me of AOL, which reminded me I was old enough to remember Compuserve. Anybody else remember those days? I remember AOL, Compuserve, and Prodigy, and AOL being the one to win out, for... However long it lasted. It's so weird to think about, now.

I think we had something called EarthLink. Ohh, I remember that. Earthlink came a short while later and never hit the highs of AOL/Compuserve/Prodigy, but it's from roughly the same time.

I think I started on AOL dialup, then MSN dialup. I got Clearwire broadband and then Spectrum cable after. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think I started on AOL dialup, then MSN dialup. I got Clearwire broadband and then Spectrum cable after. I never used MSN. My family used CompuServe, then AOL, then we transitioned to those free internet services that basically made you have an ad bar at the top of your screen, such as Juno and NetZero. Those were crazy times, if you compare them to now. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard!

We didn't have MSN but I loved the hell out of that MSN Browser Suite. I think you can still download it but I don't think most of it works any more >_>

Who here ever used Web TV? I remember that being a thing, but we never ended up going to that. We hung on to AOL for awhile, then transitioned directly from AOL to NetZero/Juno. I was the catalyst for that. Since I grew up around computers thanks to my older brother, by that point I knew enough to tell my family "Hey, this is literally free internet, as long as you have this dumb ad bar at the top of the screen that doesn't really interfere with anything," so we went from paying for AOL to not paying at all, which is now... Unheard of, and internet prices are higher than ever. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard!
