#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease 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

Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @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.

Bernd (@BwieAktien) reported@Forbes Peak New Economy: AOL bought Time Warner in 2000/01 in an all-share deal, with a purchase price of about $147bn on the books, often announced as ~$165bn. In 2002, AOL Time Warner then took a $54.2bn goodwill impairment, followed by another $45.5bn write-down. Now AOL is back in the public-market story as part of Bending Spoons’ >$18bn IPO! $BSP

Wendy (@Wendyfrigeri) reported@lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN I screeched when Prodigy left the USA as at that point we had to get AOL accounts, which were garbage & only got worse.

Reiki Momma (@Luminary_Wings) reported@iH8Meccavellii Exactly. She really messed up AOL public perception with all that damn talking she was doing.

David Turner (@turner_dav80233) reported@VerizonSupport the directions I’m given do NOT MATCH my screen. I a sick of the incessant outages and lack of support, I’ll cancel my contract with Verizon and find a provider that actually DOES allow access! AOL in the 90’s was faster!

Brian Roemmele (@BrianRoemmele) reportedLISTSERV Was The Place To Be In 1993! Just after dial up BBSs and just before USENET my X-like place where I went “viral” was LISTSERV. I was on over 1000 active lists. I of course was on forums on CompuServe and AOL, but LISTERV was push and not pull. It was magic! I would write there like I posted here today. There was zero spam and the highest IQs in the world just a list email away. In my Eudora archives (the best email client ever made) I have saved the results of all my lists saved. Before my tape find, I was happy I saved the Eudora in zipped PKG files. One LISTSERV I was on had 1000s of subscribers and it is where I learned of so many things months before it was news. In the 1990s I wrote the first known AI (expert system) for email, to produce a morning “Newspaper” digest I would actually have automatically printed out to read at breakfast. The AI would have knowledge of what I wanted and produced the summaries and headlines. It went viral on some of my lists I was on and it used Eudora mailbox files to access the data. Many like minded geeks like me used the software and one made a LISTSERV out of his output as a meta way to use what he called THE ULTIMATE NEWS LISTSERV. Since posting on my tapes yesterday two folks reached out to me to share their archives! I am not sure if there is overlap, but anyone with data like this, please let me know! Folks we have a mother-load here and I know we will find new data perhaps not seen since it bounced though LISTSERV. Your support made this happen. Thank you.

HLoR+Shada (@HLoRShada) reportedGenuine Question: How long were you on a social media app before you realized you didn't HAVE to respond/defend yourself to every idiot who rudely attacked you for having an opinion? Because I just got that epiphany and I was there for AOL dialup. 😶

Ike (@Iken75) reported@muheediva01 Hmm, a lot of people seem to think Wi-Fi=internet for some reason. There was no wireless internet. It was landline POTS at your house and maybe if you were lucky you had access to a business or school that could afford to lease a T1. In home broadband wasn't a thing yet, it was super expensive, and the internet was often gated through online service providers like AOL, and the original OSP's like Prodigy and CompuServe were still around. This is before even napster, so p2p music downloads weren't really happening yet either. You could play Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, minesweeper or Tetris on your PC. If you had Prodigy you could play MadMaze. The original Civilization and Sid Meier's Pirates! were out then as well. Most days during the summer I would go out and try and get a pickup basketball or baseball game going. If that failed I'd read a book or build **** with legos. After dinner if I wasn't in trouble and had done my chores I could play videogames. I had two sisters I had to share PC and internet time with. It wasn't super common to have a TV in your bedroom, and I didn't. So if you wanted to watch a show or a movie you had to gain consensus.
