- BizarroLand 3y agoI'm old enough, my first PC was a Tandy 386-SX33 and I found my first BBS by looking it up in the yellow pages and dialing it on a self-installed yard sale $1 2400 baud ISA modem, I'm just uncertain as to why this exists or what one would use it for. Then again, I never installed the AOL desktop, so that might be part of my confusion, that and I don't imagine there are many other people I could use this with in my circle of weirdos.
- civilitty 3y ago> I'm just uncertain as to why this exists I used it to send someone a drawing of my penis. Just like the good old days!
- code_duck 3y agoI didn’t recognize it either, but apparently it is because I was too old. I’d recognize the original AOL client, certainly, but AOL Desktop was apparently released in late 2007. By that time I was using cable internet, WindowMaker and KDE.
- prmoustache 3y agoThere are lots of people old enough who were simply using different providers back then. Thanksfully, AOL was not a monopoly.
