I didn't even know AOL was still around, let alone AOL dial-up.

I thought they were just a web portal and email service. It is amazing they still offered ISP services this long.

They had some pretty unscrupulous business practices back in the day with their free trial CD mailers. My cousin worked in their call center ages ago and would sometimes convince even people who didn't have a computer to pay for the service.

Do they still offer the floppies with the free hours? I need a new set of drink coasters.

  • No no—the CDs were coasters, the floppies you could put a piece of tape over the protection window and reuse
