    Please update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

    @J0hnnyXm4s I think the problem here people are too use o 40 or less characters. It is also difficult for many to type what they want for fear of that digital trail. We have also come to the point were us old school bbs and aol chat room people are becoming less and less. I often have to

    @streamlabs Not maintaining 30FPS resulting my streams looking like I’m on AOL connection. I wasn’t having that issue before.

  • thelastpinkcar Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Geez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

  • greenSLLIME 🤮ghoul🤮 (@greenSLLIME) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I keep a drawer full of broken aol discs to cut a ***** wit

  • WahidTazudeen Wahid Tazudeen (@WahidTazudeen) reported from Chicago, Illinois

  • danushman dan ushman (@danushman) reported

    @ChartBreakouts well... i learned the basics when i was 15 with a bootlegged copy of MS visual basic. had a goal: to write an aol im punter that would flood my friends instant messages with crap until their aol clients frooze and they were booted offline. a ton of peeps my age learned that way

  • PowersJordin Jordin Powers (@PowersJordin) reported

    @EricaGrieder Born in 89 but had a DELL computer desktop when i turned 7. Never used it. Turned 13 or 14 and started using a desktop at home to dial in to AOL for those chatrooms. Learned through highschool - 03 to 07 how to use a computer and the digital world was born already im sure.

  • dougsillars Doug Sillars 🌻 (@dougsillars) reported

    @alexeheath @richburroughs When I was at @aol, I had to fill out a weekly report of what I worked on - broken into 15 minute intervals. They got really mad when I noted it took 60 minutes a week to create said report.

  • BowTiedFirefox BowTiedFireFox (@BowTiedFirefox) reported

    @BowTiedBull so from failing to curve their infra cost, we know their management sucks. Unless Brian Armstrong nuke their management and build it from the ground up, I don't think they can curve their expense. Probly end up like AOL, great engineers, horrible management
