- vblord 11y agoI have a few AOL disks that I refuse to get rid of. I don't even have a disk drive anymore. It's part of my childhood. My wife thinks I'm crazy... but I like them.
- akilism 11y agoThere's some 9 or 10 shoeboxes full of 3.5" floppy disks in my parent's basement. Probably 3 of those are just AOL disks.
- sp332 11y agoJason Scott put up a post asking for them, you can ship them off if you want them archived. http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/4624 http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/4624
- acheron 11y agoNow I'm wondering if I could still find the set of 5.25" disks for Prodigy circa 1990 in my parents' house. I'd say 50% chance they're still there. Something to look for next time I'm visiting. :)
- jharger 11y agoKinda makes me wish I had kept my parents' old 5.25" Quantum Link disk for the Commodore 64. That's what AOL was originally called, and it was so fascinating for a kid who had never even heard of "online" back around '89 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Link
