Ah yes, I remember. Sill have/retain my first AOL email acct created on my first computer, a blazing Acer w Win95 and not to brag, but, a dial-up modem... AND CD ROM, which included some PGA golf game that shared the excitement & graphics of Pong, all while taking only 30 seconds or so to load the next hole. Yep, all that tech included for only $1,999 + tax.
Oh... and soon after unpacking, the Acer helpline taught 20-something me about patience, what outsourcing was, and how friendly ppl are in India
LOL I had to laugh. I still have/use my AOL email account to this day. My son was 14 at the time and created accounts for us. We had a Hewlett Packard back then. I learned a hell of a lot from the teenagers back then. ('94-2000) Remember when we had to pay a monthly fee? He is the one who taught me about file sharing and Net ??? (download music/file share to make own CD's) I can't remember the name at the moment.
I only keep that ol' AOL email acct due to distant fam & frens that hit me up from time to time. I actually have the same exact handle, only w Gmail, Proton, Yahoo and others... I forget? I know, the shame w Goog but it's harder for us older Patriots to change crap that's been around for yrs due to obvious reasons.
BTW my daughter was born in '95, son in '90 so I feel ya on the tech advice from that gen which grew up w it. We've earned our stripes, tho!
