You mean after you installed your free AOL disk? Oooh, and remember Net Zero? Free internet? Well, at least until they decided it wasn't free anymore.

Weird. I see the civil war thread was locked after 2 mods say it was okay…

Spindle is changed out and mower definitely sounds better. Still too wet to mow a bunch but I made a couple passes and all went well.....except for the mower blade that is stuck in the side of the house....I keed I keed

Or the free computer if you sign up for how many years of aol or compuserve

 

[BeDome]

oh I knew EXACTLY what you meant

My first one, you actually had to place your phone receiver in a cradle the right way and then, eight minutes later. you were ready to access an entire .4 kb website of all text.

I got fancy, bought my own modem and had a pass through for the phone line.
If someone called they got a busy signal, but if someone picked up a phone to call out, the connection was lost.

I have AT&T and had no issues....I am on First Net though so that might make a difference.

Dad never did understand. He'd just pick up the phone and start cussing it for making all that noise.

I,had the compuserve. I don’t think I ever had aol. The first service was a local. It included a shell account which I thought was really cool, it started me learning Unix which led me to Linux.

Dialing numbers and clicking the hang up button.

Kroger has pork butts at 99 cents a pound

Parents bought me a fancy Compaq, which cost more than a used car and never worked right.

Went to a bunch of websites looking for help. Decided that Windows and pre-built computers weren't for me. Started building my own and using Linux right off the bat.

We had a local mom and pop ISP at first, then switched to a somewhat larger one when they sold out to another company. After that, we had Ameritech DSL until I moved into the woods and got Hughes.net....

That's a cheap piece of ass!

I don't know what to do with those. I know people smoke them to make pulled pork, but they look like pork dark meat with lots of fat and that really messes with me.

My ex had a Tandy 1000. That was my first home PC experience. My first one (of my own) was a Gateway and it seemed fancy at the time.

Yeah we had a TRS80 that I spent a very long time typing games into... actually got some of them to work. But it was a rental and we didn't have it long.

I had to be different.....imagine that....everyone in the family had tandy and shared cassette tape programs so I bought a TI 99/4A...I know it's hard to believe.

Those ther the days typing in computer programs from a magazine!
