I had AOL before it was AOL...before the Internet was common

Hate to admit that I can not remember the name, but I had them back when it was actually an on-line service promoted by Tandy (Radio Shack), and was the direct fore-runner to what became AOL. This is back when Compuserve was king, and AOL became a very decent (if distant second) challenger, at a tastier price. I remember being on AOL when they began featuring forays into this thing called the "World Wide Web"...and something called a "browser"...(not IE!)...thinking "If I could only get a 14,400 baud modem!"

At any rate, at one time, not only was AOL a decent enough service, it really was one of the more innovative as well. Obviously AOL became irrelavant years ago now, but there was a time...
