  @joshbmessenger @Ace109610 WWE Network would always crash, buffer and many times the picture looked like it was video being played on a dialup server like AOL.

  @Dan_Jeffries1 Gates never said this. In the 1990s, Microsoft focused on proprietary online networks (MSN) rather than the 'internet'. Think AOL. The 'internet' was a side product you got by connecting to their proprietary service. Downplaying to be the source of connection = marketing 😐

  @mariza_hofer Desperate people, don't **** with them. They can't be predicted in any meaningful fashion. Imo. I was tech support for the world's first chat based communities. AOL and Prodigy and V.B.B.S. I can say this I got catfished once, and a 17 year relationship was the results. Favour of god to your unity with an equal and opposite force. My dignity is all that keeps me from flirtatious decorum. Will be looking for someone of quality to refer to you for inspection.

  @byoanarchy I will admit I was a "bad" student but they locked me in the server(aol dial up) closet for a month until my mom found out and almost burned the place down.

  The exact cause of the fire that destroyed the historic former church at East 55th Street and Central Avenue in Cleveland on August 21, 2026, is still under investigation. What We Know About the Fire - Time and Place: The two-alarm fire started around 2 a.m. at the vacant building. Gas Status: Officials stated that the gas service to the building had been turned off for a long time. Building History: The structure was built in the late 1890s—initially as a Jewish synagogue before serving as the Friendship Baptist Church for decades. Prior Issues: Police had responded to reports of break-ins and vandalism at the empty property over the years. According to an AOL report, no injuries were reported, but the 100-year-old structure suffered a catastrophic collapse of its wooden interior and is considered a total loss.

  @DrDaymarcus I did not know that AOL had dial up service until 2025. Sources?

  @brockpierson That modem is too new. It doesn't have any microphones. Go back to the source with an acoustic coupler modem. Of course, you're going to have a little trouble getting a working telephone handset and analog phone line. At least the AoL CDs will be easy to find.

  AOL never asked me for more storage and I have emails for over 20 years….. why Gmail gotta do me like that 😫

  Mapquest holding line on Lake Ontario. I agree, but no doubt it is just a marketing stunt to remind us they exist. I was at AOL when Google Maps launched. The head of Mapquest would send out emails every time they launched a feature saying people would never use Google.

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.
