Also I once tried to get my computer internet accessible by installing AOL on it. I didn't know what a router or dial-up internet was, I thought computer programs were magic. That's not really a "random 90s story" it's just a "I was an idiot when I was 10" story.

@Official_TVC Why back in my day, I had several boxes full of floppy disks, all (mostly) full of pirated games! And back in the days of AOL, I never needed to buy blank disks! I kept getting free "starter" disks that I would just reformat! It was a beautiful time.

@guccitokes Cardano is one I’m really thinking about throwing some money in too. I’m all about Web 3.0 and less data extraction, it is the true solution to data mining. Etherium, Cardano, and Polka Dot are going to be like Google, Yahoo, and AOL.. all with see ridiculous growth.

@AlexHolmeset Great idea. Bury historic knowledge down alongside physical servers and AOL dial-up CDs.

@ReuScherf @nlw That’s how all paradigm shifts are. Except this one dilutes itself seriously in the 90’s we didn’t have thousands of information hiways. Just AOL, Netscape, Compuserve and the internet. And no one said they did different things. They were networks. It came down to scaling.

@ClownBasket @the_brumby Well, the recipe is the same, but test team is just still way behind. Classic requirements creep. The service was supposed to be for the at-risk 65+ year olds, so the clients were well understood. They all have aol accounts. Now we are testing clients using fisher price tablets!

@CaseyNewton are we going to pretend that AOL Kids Only never existed and that no one has built a better kids’ space online since? I only have, like, 5000 things to say on this subject.

@tanzinavega Oh, the kids will never know the feeling of having to use memory cards to save data. Forget that autosave feature we all take for granted. And may the powers that be help you if you forgot to save to it. That, and the timeless AOL service. Or classic Solitaire and Minesweeper.

@Independent It is the sound of AOL dial up (Alien On Line). What?! Because we are the only ones who had poor internet back in the day?

@estherschindler Or the emergency AOL diskette I carried with me just in case I could get nothing else to work in the hotel. This seems implausible to me now as I look back on it, but I’m positive it was in my travel bag as a standard item—and I hated AOL!

@DrBrainNerd @LizWFab I never had AOL. I think I connected through AT&T?! In '95 I was able to chat with my boyfriend (now hubby) through a ridiculously secure VPN (on dial up) that only worked part of the time. THOOOOOZ WERE THE DAYZZZZZZ.
