AOL. The devil?
 

Ah, yes. Back in the day when the internet was still new, and you needed additional software to run it. I had AOL. It was okay back then. But eventually, other things came around. Then the nightmare began.

Have you ever tried to cancel your subscription with these people? It's a HUGE project. They kept charging me for over two months after our account was "Cancelled". I have Comcast now, and am very happy with it :D But gah... Those are some terrible people.

Anyways, this video reminded me of that. So you should watch it.

We had AOL back like 8 years ago. I didn't even use the computer. When I got to Jr high we got DSL. I don't even remember using AOL internet, I was like 10 at the time. I work at the helpdesk for the university's computer department and someone actually called in last week with a problem with the dial in lines. The university has free dial in lines for dial-up internet, but I was surprised people actually use that.

We used to get free dialup from my moms work:) But yea when i turned like 12? we got cable and boy am i glad we did. How else was i to play on xbox live with dialup
