dreaming of an internet you have to be at least 18 to use
until then, your copy of new aol version 7.0 will either serve as a frisbee or a coaster

Version numbers were so impressive back then. The higher the better, and never omitting the all important "point oh," signifying maximum bugginess.
If anyone had dared to release a version kajillion point oh of something they would have blown Microsoft out of the water.

guys the Disk is too big for my drive like way too big. Also I think it's covered in a thin layer of loose plastic is this where the data is stored? How am I supposed to keep it safe?
It's not a 3.5 floppy, is this a 5.25? I think my friend has a 5.25 drive, is not what size is this?

What was the most basic question you got from someone that thought they knew what they were talking about but clearly didn't?
Like a "my hard drive must be dying I keep getting pop ups!" type of thing

I used to work for AOL! as a contract person in the early 2000's. phone tech support. it was the coolest / weirdest job ever then everything got outsourced. we mostly supported 5.0 and 6.0.
how big were the changes with each new version? when aol 7.0 dropped i was only old enough to be affected by advertising and not the new features aol had to offer

I remember 5.0 and 6.0 being similar enough, and not too much trouble usually. I think 7.0 came around the time they were shutting down my place. 7.0 seemed like it had a lot of problems, because everything before was built around dial-up, plus everyone was going to broadband then anyway (if I remember right, this was when they were trying to roll out their own broadband service and it failed because it was pointless, just AOL bolted on to Time Warner and up-charged (I think, it's been a long time!)
the only difficult ones really were the much older versions (like, I think we were required to try and support back to 4.0 but no further.) my saddest call was this older guy who obviously had a lot of problems trying to connect with some virus-riddled 386 or something running windows 3.1. he was crying by the time I got the call ended because I couldn't do anything for him, everything he was running was unsupported by then. but it was a fun job at the time (well, the people I worked with, less the job) and I was making a lot of money for a college sophomore.
