  I played on a waterbed when I was younger, and I've had cameras where you had to develop the film, so I guess the only thing I never had was an AOL address.

  @LargeLa6182 @Starlink Old Sat tech here. I finally got out in 2005 because terrestrial options totally killed the market. I installed a ton of AOL+ systems. It was hughsnet on G3, got 400kb down and an analog modem was the uplink. Those things were awesome at the time!! Personally I had 1.5mb DSL lol

  Scavage (@Scavage18) reported 15 minutes ago

  In 2002, both my screen name on AOL and my "pk" username on MUDs (multi user dungeons) was "Scavage". The latter was a kayfabe heel, kind of an *******, and retired in 2002. "scavage18" is because in 2020, I thought I needed that ******* back.

  @0hour1 I had Compuserve, remember that one? Newsgroups and ****. AOL, Compuserve, and Prodigy were groundbreaking back in the day. Microsoft Encarta, Dune, Alone In The Dark, Police Squad, Leisure Suit Larry, etc on my Gateway 2000 50 megahertz

  @Underdogsbiteup 18 Sprynet instead of AOL, did not own a water bed but slept upon one. Never made a mixed tape.

  @MensHumor I was born 82 and was right on the cusp. I had AOL in the mid 90s, napster in the late 90s then facebook and stuff but I never really did that

  Thirty years ago was a turning point in office culture. AOL Instant Messenger came out. I noticed that all my employees were using it. Actual work came to a standstill. I was outraged – this struck me as time theft – but decided it would be better to allow the work ethic to re-emerge organically rather than act like a dictatorial central planner. Some network computer consultant came in and wanted to set everyone up with a centrally controlled machine over which only one machine would have administrative rights. I said no and essentially had everyone use a personal computer instead. All these years, I've always insisted on owning my own machine in every work environment, even forwarding all work email to a single account managed by me personally. Apparently I was a real outlier here. As it turns out, the centralizers won corporate culture completely. Today every decent-sized company demands that all employees use office machines, building a huge and thick wall between personal and company time. No more social media. No more app control. No more texting except for office texts and platforms. Forget work/life balance. On company time and in company space, there is only the company. Companies today won't even let employees check personal email on office machines. It's become extreme. I'm actually shocked by this in retrospect. I had bet that individualism would triumph – everyone would own their own and cooperate with others but in a decentralized way – but I was completely wrong. Now offices are surveillance-based police states and you have to sneak look at your phone even to have a life outside of work. This is something I never would have predicted. It's no wonder everyone hates work these days.

  @RedsSuffering @BeccaC78 No AOL here either never owned a walkman but have held one and listened to one. I was poor during walkman years. Everything else yes for me.
