Legacy of AOL

Does anyone use AOL’s 1000 hrs FREE CDs anymore? How many of us still remember those CDs that would clog up our snail-mail appointed mailboxes? Did any of us even suspect that it was a real-life metaphor for email and snail mail?

I barely ever use envelopes or the post office to send things now. It’s virtually all virtual. But I use Google, not AOL now.

The only thing remotely AOL that I use now, approximately 15 years after I acquired my first AOL email account, is AOL Instant Messenger. And even then, it’s connected through my Gmail account.

Go figure.
