LOL

I remember those times when you’d get an AOL cd-rom in the mail every few months. My boss, computer illiterate, gave me one of his AOL CDs and I thanked him but told him I didn’t need training wheels.

That was the time when so many online folks thought AOL was the internet, and never ventured out from it.

From bulletin boards to the WWW.

Buying a new modem every six months.

Netscape downloads that failed and then buying it.

Always upgrading both hardware and software.

I was paying my bills electronically in 1991 with CheckFree and as much as I loved “Bill Payment”, what I really wanted was “Bill Presentment”. I hated opening the mail.
