  @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.

  @brockpierson If you had AOL or CompuServe, you had to connect with a modem. At some point PCs shipped with integrated modems, but yes, I rocked one of those bad boys as well.

  I remember when I was young and my mother would take me to the mall. I would bring a small notepad and pencil, then sit in Walden Books and write down things I had to do where I was stuck when I couldn't afford the guide. And as far as Gamefaqs is concerned, I don't think I knew that existed till like 1998 or 1999. It's not like we had social media to talk about different websites, I had to search using AOL keywords.

  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.

  I’m reading Kara Swisher’s book about AOL which came out in 1999, and the tone of the book is like “this is the biggest company in the world! Nothing will take them down!”
