  @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.

  @Terry_Hendrix I am too young for BBS (seriously). I tried it once when I was 12 and on an AOL trial but never got anywhere.

  @blakeir The only policing was asking them to stay off the phone so I could dial on to AOL or MSN messenger to chat with my high school friends and argue why I had been bumped down in their top five lol.

  Thank God I figured it out. Since about 7:30pm yesterday or a bit earlier, my signal dropped so low I felt like I was on AOL dialup. A hair away from unusable. Speed was 1200 baud level. I was blocked from the Internet completely using a browser. Faris’s hackers, either in the arctic or Ron’s crew across the street hacked my phone and turned on the phone’s WiFi. There was no WiFi icon on the screen that obviously would have alerted me. I found it by discovering my phones cellular connection had been changed to 5G for everything, yet LTE was showing on the screen. 14 calls to the cellular carrier in an effort to get help were canceled. Now I know by whom, and why. Last night I was on hold for twenty minutes for two separate calls with no pickup. Today I called 12 times and finally figured out a faster way to dial (don’t ask) so a few calls got through but were then disconnected, two got through to the automated help but when they transferred me to the help people the call was disconnected. And to top off this marvelous day, I was forced to file a theft report for two missing firearms. This is getting really serious. One of those firearms has a Good chance of being in the attic…… He asked to take what I thought were very questionable photos -we’ll see……….. I would not have even called the Sheriff’s department after the horrible experiences I’ve had, but as of July 1, 2026, in this county anyway, filing a report for stolen firearms is mandatory. Everyone who is a Targeted Individual needs to post every day on social medial with LINKS so more people are aware of this sick program and gang stalking. I have posted them repeatedly so look at my Posts and Replies and you’ll find them. But most importantly, NEVER, EVER, Give Up. Turn every attack, every hassle into a challenge. Become a survivor, not a victim.

  Now my @yahoo account never once has stated that I’m outta storage nor asked me to purchase extra data. And that’s the first account I’ve had since @aol and that was after you got that blue cd from Walmart to get a trial period on the internet.

  The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?

  @lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN AOL and dail up - refuse to call it the good old days but it was something. You knew that it was the beginning, but you didn't know of what. Could never have foreseen the internet in 2026 that is for sure.
