  @nostalgames69 Bought a dreamcast just for to play this game. Unfortunately, AOL didn't work on dreamcast. We got DSL a few months later but we had no router and I didn't have the network adapter. The only way to connect online was to directly plug in the modem to it. Dad was not cool with it.

  One of the biggest problems with old tech like @AOL is that they starved their engineers of creativity. too much legal reviews. never ending bureaucracy. now a lot of those engineers are laid off and entering a world that's changed dramatically.

  @claudeai Think of your poor clients too. You're forcing us into an AOL equivalent when parents were shocked when the bill arrived. Or, we can't use the better product. :(

  I spent 13 years at Southern Bell which became Bell South. Then the government took over and destroyed it. They were forced to rent their network to rivals like HBO and AOL. I sent the bills. 6 years at Motorola. After 9/11 40k of us were laid off.

  Been going down a Luca Ferrari rabbit hole and honestly the guy might be running one of the smartest plays in tech right now. while everyone's out here trying to build the next big thing, he's just buying the old ones. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL. products people still love but that got bloated and neglected. bending spoons scoops them up cheap because everyone assumes they're dead. they're not, they're just badly run. and then the fun part. they move everything to italy, strip the company way down, hand the code to a bunch of young engineers who ship like crazy, and reprice the product to what it's actually worth. evernote got 75 updates in a year after basically going quiet. nobody's on call, everyone's just a "software engineer," salaries are flat. someone described it as private equity having a baby with google which is perfect. the numbers are kind of insane too. revenue per employee went from about $1.1m to $2.6m in two years, and they just IPO'd north of $18b and popped 40% on the first day. the takeaway that stuck with me: you don't have to invent the thing. you can just take something great that someone else fumbled and actually run it well. everyone's obsessed with zero to one and he's quietly getting rich on one to n.

  Yahoo has really followed the demise of Excite, Netscape and AOL. Terribly sad. Very poor management.
