And I thought they were in the coaster business. Go figure.
It's been years since I saw an AOL CD pop up in my mail box.

Same with me. With greater wireless coverage in rural areas, dial-up's becoming passe and AOL can't seem to figure that out.

*starts preparing AOL's coffin and grave.*

They have figured that out, that's why you're not seeing the coasters anymore......

Yep - same people have been saying AOL should have changed their model before they did - same people who are now saying AOL will die due to their changing their model for the better. In other words - typical hypocrite behaviour.

Give me your address. I still have several laying around somewhere.

Our new desktop and notebook computers both had AOL pre-installed.

I once ordered 80 aol cd's. They became frisbees etc over the years as i'm a mac user & aol for mac is stuck at an enhanced for osx blend of 5.0 and 6.0. from 2002

I think you can still order mass quantities of CDs even i just for fun.
