[TylersetsE]

Do people still use AOL?

7:24 the internet is not going to replace television or newspapers or magazines

[crazydog99007]

You wonder how many AOL-related suicides he's responsible for

[WarpGroovePictures]

4:44 This is your fault. ,|,,

It's funny hearing the internet (-cYbErSPacE-) being spoken about in the future tense.

[miamirockstar2010]

im glad aol turned into a huge fail. when they had a monopoly they raped there customers for going over there minutes and shut them down for looking at playboy pics. funny they could never get away with that now. aol is a huge joke to everyone now and they earned it. i think its haillarious. carma is a bitch aint it aol? losers enjoy what you did to yourself!

[danwat1234]

AOL 9.5 Refresh Beta 8 isn't bad. Pretty fast and free on broadband

[FuriousTM]

AOL customer service was so bad! AOL was in their prime 1994-2001

[dadoody]

They dropped the ball so much. They didn't keep up with broadband or the times. The company is kinda worthless now. The only AOL thing I use is AIM.

Well...one must thank Steve Case, simply because he made pornography available for millions of people at the click of a button.

[postyesterdayman]

Yeah, remember still photo online porn that would take about one minute for rach photo to load? Then, you wouldn't like the picture and you'd get all pissed off?! Oh, to be a teenager in the 90's!

[TheHighHardOne]

I will never forget,while working as a doorman at a five diamond property in Chicago...I assisted Mr.Case and his family into the hotel with his luggage.The tip....$O. ASSHOLE.I have something that he can't buy....CLASS!

[shieldsuma]

@TheHighHardOne LOL.. one true gauge for how people with means deal with everyday people is how they interact with folks from the service industry. it always frustrated me when celebs would not tip or tipped poorly when they came into the restaurants i worked in. oh well, money aint everything. YESSSS ... there is definitely something to be said for class.

[promontorium]

There was no way to get on the internet!

[ajatkinson2004]

aol used to be for nubes!!! Its gotten more broad spectrum now though

I canceled my account back in 1998 & never looked back. What a freaking joke it was.

[mockstoday]

Yes I have it. But thank god it's a normal service now!

[elpiratee]

This guy is the champion of stating the obvious.

[JWGames]

It wasn't obvious in 1995. That's why Steve Case is one of the greatest visionaries in last 25 years.

[widwag]

and one of the greatest scam artists ever too !

[widwag]

anyone have any retro aohell screen shots ??

LOL, we PoXned Stevie !

[SAflashtubfanpage]

i remember myspace when it came out :D

[Pauluk33]

i have had AOL since 98? 99? i think, ive had no probems, nothing major anyway. I heard alot of people complain about it why? only thing ive got against AOL, the software you now get just is too much, too big and eats up the ram like fan heater, its getting a bit ridiculous

[jasper153]

AOL was never a large program.

I never had a problem using AOL in 1997-98=99.

I still waste my money today using AOL for 9.99

I have had High speeed for like 7 years now.

And AOL is a big bore.

[whyplash81]

What I find interesting is that Steve Case was pretty accurate with his predictions.

[whyplash81]

I think what's most interesting about this is how incredibly accurate Steve Case's predictions were about this "interactive medium" (The Internet).
