  @Scobleizer The moment is set later in retrospect. That's the issue. We look back at the 1000s of moments and pick one. Like AOL CDs but there was much more to the moment. This ebbs in then a crash.

  @lithos_graphein @brockpierson Love it, fond memories of my BBS days. I was one of the first in my area to get a meg drive for my Commodore 64! I still dream of the sound the modem used to make. Then the Prodigy service came along and soon after the mass mailing of AOL disks! That was the end of most BBS’s

  Cursor Cloud is the slowest AOL dial-up speed piece of crap ever. DO. NOT. USE.

  @brockpierson Yes. Prodigy (Prodigy Interactive Personal Service) was a commercial online service that people accessed with a dial-up modem over regular phone lines. It launched publicly in 1988 as a joint venture of IBM and Sears (originally developed as Trintex with CBS). You installed their client software on a PC or Mac, the program dialed a local access number, and you connected at typical early speeds of 1200 or 2400 bps. Later they added faster modem support and, in 1994, web access. It was one of the “big three” consumer online services of that era, alongside CompuServe and AOL. Users got news, weather, email, bulletin boards, shopping, stocks, games, and similar features through a graphical interface—not the open internet at first. Startup kits sometimes even bundled a modem. The classic Prodigy service ran until the late 1990s; after that it shifted toward being an ISP before fading out.

  In June 2000 a room of shareholders raised their hands and approved the worst deal in corporate history. The price tag was $120,000,000,000. When the deal was announced five months earlier it was worth about $165,000,000,000. Nobody stopped the vote. The currency was melting while they counted the hands, and the vote went through anyway. AOL was the buyer. A dial-up company with 23,000,000 subscribers paying monthly for modem access. Time Warner was the target. Cable systems, film studios, magazines, record labels, actual assets producing actual cash. The internet company bought the media empire with stock. Paper bought property. Steve Case knew what his paper was worth. Gerald Levin took it anyway. Watch the men on the steps afterwards. Nobody is arguing. Nobody in that footage looks like they just lost anything. Two years later the combined company wrote down about $99,000,000,000 in a single year. That number is larger than the annual output of most countries. By 2009 the two halves were separated again, and the pieces were worth a fraction of what they carried in. Every analyst covering the deal called it visionary. The vote took minutes. The unwind took nine years.
