The end of AOL dialup
a day ago
- The author's family had a history with PlayNET and QuantumLink, with the author being banned from QuantumLink after the first bill.
- Mid-1990s, they switched to AOL, which the author used until 2006, including during a cross-country road trip when Wi-Fi was unavailable.
- The author suggests creating a new AOL server via modem emulation to preserve the experience, and hopes for leaked source code from Yahoo/Verizon.
- The author's mother still uses her AOL email address, even though they now have cable internet.
