  Courtney Welch (@cw4emeryville) reported 17 minutes ago from Emeryville, California

  I never learned to type from Mavis Beacon programs, it was using AOL instant messenger everyday after school for an hour.

  @The_Katbot It was also the reason I managed to push my parents off of AOL and move on to a better ISP, since AOL required its launcher to be open to stay online. I think it was a common complaint. Before that, I would use Net Zero accounts until I was flagged as a "heavy user" good times.

  @NotTodayEric I had a 22 year old ask me what "aol" was the other day. She looked at me like I was crazy when I described the discs that came in the mail and played her the sound it made when it connected to the internet. Damn kids have no idea what we went through.

  How do all these people have 10s of thousands of "followers"? People that don't necessarily post anything new or just re-posts of other peoples' thoughts & work. I don't get it. I've been a member for a while now (w/ THIS acct - my orig was cancelled by Twitter during COVID for telling the factual scientific truth about masks based on my years in Bio-Nanotechnology). Is it strictly from those "Follow" train lists? I learned early on to stay away from those - I check out EVERYBODY I ever follow first & personally (not necessarily relying upon Grok's "Profile Summary", although those may get me interested to take a gander). I try to engage those who engage with me and avoid silly flame-wars. I don't post to GET followers, I generally post current stream-of-consciousness thoughts, what's on my mind at that moment & not really organizing them into proper English "articles". Plus I'm not really good at pithy comments - I speak from my heart & soul and EXPLAIN myself & my reasoning for coming to different conclusions. And I typically don't engage in irrational, emotional hyperbole & name-calling. I truly want to know what others think and LEARN (you're never too old to learn!). For DECADES on BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems - pre-graphical internet days, modem-connected social systems for discussion, research & debates), the Usenets (newsgroups, pre-graphical/HTTP/HTML internet days when time on the internet was purchased through 3rd party vendors like CompuServe by the hour - 70s & 80s, pre-AOL (which is slightly pre-HTTP/HTML/Mozilla-Netscape graphical internet revolution) - where everything was command-line driven in ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO set or ATASCII or the like). Am I just too old, boring, long-winded, obnoxious, opinionated or what? I know its annoying with me posting about my health, but I've gotta vent SOMEWHERE and NO ONE on X knows me personally. Not that it matters so much now, I'm heading down the stretch-run to Home plate, but even paying for Elon's blue-checkmark, I don't get many hits/views or responses/engagement, it is pretty comparable to my "free" account that I use solely for sports-related stuff where I have 1 whole "follower", which is probably one of those online ho-bags. It's not that I'm looking to "earn" from X and I'll NEVER post things just for click-bait value. I'm just really curious how these other accounts accrue so many followers for literally not doing much,

  @Brownbeingg There is an old horror movie from when I was a teen in the 90’s and parents were convinced this type of thing would happen to us. It’s called Strangeland(on tubi). I got caught in one AOL chat and my parents put me on AOL kids until I was 17. It was LOCKED DOWN.

  Marc Andreessen wrote a browser at 22 and took a company with no profits public at $2,900,000,000 in a single day. He built Mosaic as a student employee at the University of Illinois supercomputing center, paid $6.85 an hour. It was the first browser that showed images alongside text. The university claimed the software. He left for California, and Jim Clark, who had already founded Silicon Graphics, funded him to build it again from scratch. Netscape Navigator shipped in late 1994 and took most of the web inside months. The IPO came in August 1995, 16 months after founding. The company had almost no revenue and no profit at all. Shares were set at $28 and opened at $71. The close valued Netscape near $2,900,000,000. Wall Street had never priced a company on future users instead of earnings. Every dot-com listing that followed used the template. Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer with Windows for free. Netscape sold to AOL in 1999 and the browser disappeared. He co-founded Andreessen Horowitz in 2009 and now writes the checks. He proved a company could be worth billions before it made a dollar.
