    @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

    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

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

    I don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

    @swyx @jaredpalmer First software I ever wrote in Corp America was to make sure a large Telco could create a bill supporting that many digits… the intended customer persona: AOL

  • 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.

  • JamesZekis James Zekis (@JamesZekis) reported from Oak Park, Illinois

    @TheNotoriousLEX My memories of that race is mostly being in AOL chat rooms with people screaming at each other about steroids and Chip Caray with the worst HR call in history when McGwire broke the record. I don't want a documentary to color my experience.

    @DevinCow I still have an AOL address. It’s retro & I’m proud of it. The gmail UI sucks so bad, I have my gmail forwarding to the AOL.

  • PeterSt69301444 Peter Stubbs (@PeterSt69301444) reported

    @DevinCow Only one point here, too, but I never had an AOL account. I clung like a barnacle to my old BBS email address as long as I could, by which time I had enough options that AOL didn’t happen. (I actually still have that mid-90s email address!)
