I collected like 400 free AOL CD's and made this sweet rear end mobile that got destroyed during a house party by a roomate because he was an rear end in a top hat. Sweet loving mobile though - it had like 8 swinging axis and featured tits from porn mags interspersed with the AOL cds. Was like 10 feet tall.

I remember sending in prepaid postcards for free AOL and Compuserve FLOPPIES so I could get some free floppy disks all I had to do was wait 2-4 weeks. Now I barely have the patience for Amazon Prime.

thathonkey posted:lol if you've never used altavista, magellan, lycos, excite, and yahoo! search engines Hotbot was the best search engine for a period of time back then. I remember the dark days where I used AOL as my ISP, and had to run a keep-alive program to keep it from logging off during long downloads.

Looks like you never got to experience Neverwinter Nights that summer when AOL first premiered their all-you-can-internet for one price package. MMO goldbox ADND 2nd ed poo poo pouring out the tap. Hitting reroll 1000x till you got godly stats then building a Cleric/Mage (CLAM) that had all the spells. It was good.
