I'm coming out of the closet, so to speak, about how good AOL used to be and I hope the mods keep this here.
I used AOL a LONG time ago. I remember signing onto AOL with a 486 100 mhz color laptop in 1997. My friends, and anyone using AOL, were the first ones to experience Instant Messenging, which at the time was integrated into AOL, not a seperate program.
For a long while, you never had to leave AOL. There were so many programs you could use, the chat rooms and newsgroups were excellent, people were actually NICE!
Yes, in 1997 people on the internet were nice!!
At the time, if you downloaded something on Internet Explorer, it downloaded on the page itself. if you closed the page, the download stopped. Another thing AOL had better, as you could download and then use another part of AOL.
But that was then. As the internet grew, AOL didn't. Stayed the same, even the price.
And the customer service became complete crap.
The service is now a sham. I stopped using it in 2002 and back then it had become a sham.
But I'll never forget what brought me to the internet.
