Never had an AOL account and wouldn't have considered having one, either.
Now that the option of having one is no longer there, I find myself quite sad about it !?

I suppose what I'm really upset about is the idea of time passing and everything changing.

And I have no control over the process.

Sorry, didn't mean to turn this thread into a therapy session for myself.

Oh I remember those AOL discs quite well. There was an outrage once about a black dude who had "Jungle Bunny" as a username on the disc they sent him. Quite the evidence that AOHell spies on people as well as being quite the racist a-holes.

Discs? I remember it on a floppy Disk

I remember those days i had a computer, less than 56k internet, and one of my brother's friends just spammed the keyboard keys while it was on and next thing i know is: The computer shut down, couldn't turn it back on anymore and the smell of burn!

Wow, you probably had to physically put the phone on a modem back then.
