AOL Commercial (1995)

[Goldenfury12]

It was slow as shit!

[savagekid94]

i used this back in the 90's i was so young. all i ever did was go on chat sites and Nintendo pages. i wasn't on but for like 10mins. a day lolol

[MuggleSnuggles]

I had AOL in 1995. It was cool.

[cgreypaw]

Used to get the CDs of the later editions, throw away the discs and use the jewel cases to store burned data.

[ADDMOREMAPS]

AOL was great back in the day. I even remember Prodigy which was before AOL.

[ordealbyfire]

THAT'S SO FUCKING TECH!!!

[Manimal347]

Still, major progress. Compaq sold the first sub-$1,000 PC in late '97. It had a 486-core Cyrix Media GX CPU running at 180Mhz, 16MB of RAM, little over a gigabyte of hard disk space, no 3D acceleration or 1024x768 hicolor ability, incompatible audio, and a terrible architecture where video, audio and the modem were literally on the fucking CPU die. Just horrible! Worse than a decent used 1995 machine, for sure!

[salsatangoswing]

I MISS AOL. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

[Explorerclass84]

AOL=LOL

[ComeAndSeevX]

Thumbs up if you actually used AOL back in the 90's.

[burkemorgantv]

that's me in this commercial lol

[GuineaJay]

AOL 2.7 on Mac was like a gift to hackers. You could do almost anything with a little snooping around.

[coolcatevan9]

Back when AOL was good....Nostalgia

[fanaticsim]

holy bejesus, was that what the internet looked like 16 years ago?

[TheBodach1]

I used to get those AOL cd's in the mail just about every week. They made great drink coasters and sometimes I'd buy PC games from Wal-Mart, keep the game CD and put the AOL cd in and tape the box to return the game lol

[WhoaItsJose5]

@TheBodach1 That's awesome.

That is so awesome.

[BPhoenixProductions]

Ten free hours?

[TheCypriott]

did anyone also catch the illuminati sign ?

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

"Beeeee-yooooo-eeeeeeee-oooooo­ooooooo-eeeeeeeeeeeee-[scrrrrr­rrchhhhhhhhh]-bedoobedoobeedoo ... 'Welcome. You've got mail!'"

I do NOT miss that--or anything about America OnHold--one bit. 

[08WSChamps]

lol omg i hated when you would take a floppy out before you saved a word doc and then it would make all that noise and you would have to put it back in and wait for it to save lol

[08WSChamps]

screw flash drives, its all about the floppies!!!

[MrDrNo1]

[the06bug]

Anybody still uses dial-up, please stick the wire up their nose.

[officialmashitup]

@the06bug Well it would speed things up a bit... Haha

[the06bug]

"Limit one per household"

[rkmugen]

Used to collect the 3.5 floppies, erase them and use them as free back-up storage medium. Back when media files were still well under 1 MB.

[erkolos]

What is meant by free software in this context?

[vaibanez17]

Imagine how much more fun these dudes in the commercial could have had with Youtube porn and Google Image Search....

[miggzilla90]

the internet looks soo OLD!!!!

[Gdayguy36]

The music in the background is creepy.

[surgednb]

lol...3.5" floppies

[jose65536]
