I must admit I was rather surprised by this. Only because I wasn't aware AOL still existed :shock:

AOL is a waste of space.

Anyone remember Compuserve? :shock:

EDIT: LMFAO I've just checked and Compuserve is a subsidiary of AOL!

How about Freeserve then? :P

It has been a long time coming. It has been on IT rumour sites and podcasts for about 6 months now.

And I was with CompuSevrve for years - that was where I first got on the Computer Shopper forums! They were a private board on CIS for years.

Only on CIS! I had an email address back in the early 80s and that was my name... ;)
