  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.

  @cooIcatz In an era of AOL dial up internet at best too so if you weren't scouring for info you had little reason to doubt it. Would never work today they bottled lightning there.

  @alcidezx3 had my name as well (IvanVega1) but there were others. We never just had one. Was @DoctaSlick your AOL handle, Nikki? 🤔

  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.

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

  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

  Something about $BSP: they bought AOL at a 5x income before tax, which is optically cheap right? The small issue is that they bought it from Apollo and imho there's zero chance Apollo got a bad deal

  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.

  @MapQuest Hahahaha this is like AOL screaming in 2026 they aren’t going to use AI or some ****. Like no one cares what you do because no one uses you anymore.

  @AntiEVidiots When EVs were niche, driving one was like being part of a community with a shared secret. Similar to being on the internet in the early 1990s, before the AOL hordes turned up with their poor netiquette.

  @ThisOldTech2 As a computer user since '94, I'm trying to figure out why I never got a browser in a box. of course, I did access the Web through AOL at the beginning. 🤔

  I was a senior in highschool and was talking to a girl a year younger than me. One time she spent the night and I turned my computer on and hacked the company her dad owned. I found her dad's signature in the payroll files and pointed it out to her. You could tell she was uneasy about it but fascinated at the same time. By the time I graduated I had received three letters from AOL asking me not to hack their ****.

  @JuicySteen there was a strong appetite by some at AOL Time Warner to get them off the air despite being their highest rated show. It would have depended on if they were able to hang on until Spike opened up.
