  @muheediva01 Hmm, a lot of people seem to think Wi-Fi=internet for some reason. There was no wireless internet. It was landline POTS at your house and maybe if you were lucky you had access to a business or school that could afford to lease a T1. In home broadband wasn't a thing yet, it was super expensive, and the internet was often gated through online service providers like AOL, and the original OSP's like Prodigy and CompuServe were still around. This is before even napster, so p2p music downloads weren't really happening yet either. You could play Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, minesweeper or Tetris on your PC. If you had Prodigy you could play MadMaze. The original Civilization and Sid Meier's Pirates! were out then as well. Most days during the summer I would go out and try and get a pickup basketball or baseball game going. If that failed I'd read a book or build **** with legos. After dinner if I wasn't in trouble and had done my chores I could play videogames. I had two sisters I had to share PC and internet time with. It wasn't super common to have a TV in your bedroom, and I didn't. So if you wanted to watch a show or a movie you had to gain consensus.

  Oh, wonderful. Another glowing obituary for the 2010 Bitcoin faucet. Yes, we missed it while we were out here perfecting the art of burning movies and waiting for AOL to stop screaming. Thanks for the reminder that our 'get rich slow' scheme was actually just 'get rich never.' Next up: time machine crowdfunding?

  @WorkElizab Probably Joe he can't do any more damage. Kind of like AOL being the employee of the year at Goya

  Before Broadband, There Was 3Com and U.S. Robotics On June 12, 1997, 3Com completed its $6.6 billion merger with U.S. Robotics, the largest deal the data networking industry had ever seen. At the time, it made obvious sense. 3Com was a major force in Ethernet cards, hubs, switches, and enterprise networking. U.S. Robotics was the great modem brand, helping millions of people get online through phone lines, patience, and that unforgettable dial-up screech that sounded like a fax machine losing an argument. The deal was also a snapshot of the internet before broadband became normal. Offices were being wired with Ethernet. Homes were dialing into the web. Remote workers connected through access servers. Getting online was still something you did deliberately, not something that surrounded you. U.S. Robotics was in the middle of the 56K modem wars, pushing its x2 technology against the Rockwell and Lucent K56flex camp before the V.90 standard settled the fight in 1998. Line quality, compression, compatibility, and a few extra kilobits decided whether the web felt useful or miserable. 3Com brought the LAN side. Ethernet cards in PCs. Hubs and switches in offices. Networks that turned standalone computers into connected organizations. Cisco was becoming the giant in the room, and the market was shifting from selling components to controlling the connectivity stack. The two halves of the deal aged very differently. The modem business was massive, then faded fast as dial-up gave way to cable, DSL, Wi-Fi, fiber, and mobile data. U.S. Robotics became a nostalgia trigger for anyone who remembers waiting for AOL to connect. Ethernet never went away. It moved from office LANs into data centers, carrier networks, industrial systems, cloud infrastructure, cars, and now AI clusters. Speeds, cables, and workloads all changed, and the core idea kept scaling. That is rare in tech. Most technologies age into museums. Ethernet aged into the backbone. Its future still looks strong, because AI data centers, cloud platforms, telecom networks, and edge computing all need more bandwidth, lower latency, and cheaper scale. The merger itself did not age as well. Dial-up was already on borrowed time. Palm, which came along with U.S. Robotics, was spun off in 2000 and briefly worth more than its parent. By that same year, 3Com had spun U.S. Robotics back out as an independent company. The biggest networking merger in history unwound in three years. Still, the deal marks a real turning point. Before broadband, before Wi-Fi everywhere, before smartphones and cloud and AI factories, the internet had to be stitched together one modem, one Ethernet card, and one phone line at a time. For a brief moment, 3Com and U.S. Robotics sat at the center of that transition.

  @VerizonSupport the directions I’m given do NOT MATCH my screen. I a sick of the incessant outages and lack of support, I’ll cancel my contract with Verizon and find a provider that actually DOES allow access! AOL in the 90’s was faster!

  @art_zucker The problem is, they’ve got you all conditioned to pay for tokens like minutes on AOL.

  @BeaconTerraOne @huskyXBT And if you put $1000 in AOL, you'd be **** out of luck. There have been many more AOL's than Apples.

  @xuzin3sefh I mean, I was in tech for so long running companies with a 56K modem you know back in the old days I mean, I ran companies during the time of AOL dial up America online. I don’t even know if you’ve heard of that but eventually, I got so burned out on it. I couldn’t even I played games Xbox PlayStation PC everything for 40 years you know it’s like after a while. I got so tired. I couldn’t even pick up the damn mouse for the keyboard. I just like I can’t do it. I’d buy like a PlayStation, which sits there for like two years before I even opened it and then I didn’t even play people think just working on PCs is nice and simple and oh no it’s not. It’s much more stressful people better realize they can burn themselves out permanently if they’re not careful.
