A manager once brought in his Windows 99 tower to see if I could "speed it up" because he had his AOL dial-up program installed on it which he used to access his personal AOL webmail to pay his bills. He had broadband at home but still paid for an AOL subscription.

This was less than 5 years ago.

He died of covid but I like to believe that his family kept his AOL subscription open to honor his memory.

isn’t a massive amount of AOL’s income specifically from boomers paying to keep their email address, not realising that you don’t need to pay at all?
