  @RickMcCracken @surajit_ghosh2 6 Mbps? No, Artemis is using a 260 Mbps laser-based link to transmit all data. With those speeds, we should be getting damn near 4K feeds from these live streams. We know they are getting WAY SHARPER images and feeds than the AOL Dial-up images they are providing us live.

  WCW wasnt all junk,even before @EBischoff took over. You had Great Talent and some good Stories/Rivalries. WCW didnt fail because of lack of Talent or even Creative. It failed because AOL-Warner merger opened the door for those who didnt know and couldnt stand Wrestling to tie Erics hands completely,butt in,ruin it,and sell it for a miniscule fraction of its worth.

  The Financial losses weren't the biggest factor Dave, AOL Time Warner was, just because you like to talk and paint something as fact doesn't make it a Reality, AOL didn't want wrestling on it's programming and that's the true end of WCW, TNA lost millions, difference was Network.

  Biggest challange for interviewing people turned out to be twitter's completely broken dm system. How do you mess up something AOL managed to do 28 years ago.

  @Conac02 18 possibly 19. I've definitely never used a waterbed. Whilst I don't think I ever had an aol account, I may be wrong on that.

  @ZephyrNCC17011 @RossKneeDeep 19. But I am proud I never ever had an AOL account. Or does it count if you just e-mailed someone with an AOL account?

  @oelma__ Fax machine and an AOL address are the only two I never used.

  @SlapThePenguin @TheGoldenDays Correct me if I'm wrong, but these didn't normally connect to the internet. Rather, they connected to a (usually local) BBS. I'm sure that some eventually signed up for an online service (like AOL) on these, but most were modems that connected directly to the phone line.

  @RossKneeDeep 19, I never have an AOL Address because I didn’t know anyone else with dial up internet access. By the time I did, Hotmail was the new thing so I’m first email was a Hotmail account in 1988.

  Why @BankofAmerica has a PR problem when it appears they treat their customers as the criminals & not the only reason why they exist. Examples of other companies with this mentality were Kmart, AOL, Blockbuster, Woolworth, & more. Unfortunately tech/society changes also hurt good companies.

  @Ask_Spectrum I would encourage anyone considering spectrum not to use it. Since Thursday I have had 17 outages. In the days of AOL I never lost connectivity this much. This company is a cheap alternative. I called to cancel and they said the outages were because I had old equipment. That was Friday. Tech was supposed to be here Sunday and they swore the equipment would arrive by then. They called to cancel swearing the problem had been resolved. The new equipment showed up yesterday. They are definitely losing a few customers on this one in my neighborhood. Don’t let the $85 per month internet and cable fool you. It’s a piece of ****

  @fem_mindset Honestly this **** hit for me. At 7 I set up my crib computer installed everything set up the aol dial up n fell in love wit technology. By 9, I wuld instill in myself I'm not human I'm a machine, therefore, the women aound, mom, teachers, adults can't affect me.

  @vxylily I'll never forget it. I was in an AOL chatroom, when I got a Instant Message "did you think this would ever happen in America?", and I replied "What?" and he said "turn on your TV" and I replied "what channel" and he said "any channel"😨
