Re: End of an era

I remember being pissed when AOL started distributing its software on CD instead of floppy disk.

The floppy disks at least could be repurposed into something useful. The CDs were totally and completely worthless.
No, those CD cases were great. You could run over them with a car and they wouldn't break. I used to ask everyone I know to drop them off at my house when they got one.

I still have a few unopened. If AOL goes under, collectable value increase!

 I wonder if it would increase that much (though even a value of $1 from it's current worth of $0 is an infinite increase) You may get buyers from our generation of internet users, but in 30 years AOL will be largely forgotten, even by those of us who lived through their rise and fall.

We truly have lived through the golden era of computing and the internet. Let us take some time to appreciate what we've been through, and pray that it doesn't come crashing down any time soon.
