  @N0taTwitB0t @VDHanson @lsferguson I treat or view A.I. like round up. killing off all jobs with A.I. with no controls it can take 2yrs of recovery. If you spray as a doall in arrogance it will only become over diluted. Like a 486 computer and 45 pages deep of Aol entries.If slugs come back every yr. use 409.

  @cyberat2600 I tried this on a very similar computer when we got an AOL disk in the mail. The little epson computer was too slow even for the time and could barely handle the AOL software.

  Most mega-mergers fail because companies focus on the deal size, not the integration. AOL and Time Warner proved that $165B means nothing without a solid plan. When you're buying or selling a business, the real work starts after the handshake. 🤝

  Why @BankofAmerica has a PR problem when it appears they treat their customers as the criminals & not the only reason why they exist. Examples of other companies with this mentality were Kmart, AOL, Blockbuster, Woolworth, & more. Unfortunately tech/society changes also hurt good companies.

  (Part Two) Is equity crowdfunding a viable financing strategy for building a global consumer network? Looking For a Niche Around 1995, I managed a warehouse for a computer mail-order company that shipped AOL CD-ROMs nationwide.

  @TheGoldenDays MSN messenger and/or, AOL Instant messenger. even better, AOL didn't really seem to care if you used signed up for it with an aol account or not. anything to break free of the utter garbage that facebook is becoming.
