I definitely do not miss it, but I do get a little nostalgic when I hear the AOL dial up sound.

weren't AOL keywords different from the actual websites Yeah. Adam Curry tells a story of how he somehow got the .com for some brand name. I can't recall what it was. He offered to sell it to the company and they said, "Not interested. We've got the AOL keyword so we're fine." I remember downloading a 50 mb operating system. Took all night. Literally. Remember the download managers that let you pause downloads and start them again? I used to remember seeing commercials on Nick for their AOL keyword and I thought it was different from the actual .com

It's hilarious to think that you used to not be able to use the phone and internet at the same time

I never used AOL for internet access however I do miss the late night AIM chats with people from here and my friends and family. Also, getting people riled up in chat rooms made for specific topics and then having to block like 10 people so they'd stop messaging you. Good times. Trolling before trolling was cool.

I remember all that crap.
Phone being busy because someone was online, that mineral sound, AOL instant messenger with so many people your screen was filled up, taking all night to download music, porn in slow motion.
Ahhh...memories.

It's hard to believe I used to look at porn pictures, not videos (aside from the occasional minute long clip that took a half hour to load on Realplayer). Randomly getting booted off in the middle of the night then trying to muffle the dial-up sound so I wouldn't wake up my mom at 2 AM, Will Mortician sightings in the death metal chat room, maintaining my first band's website on Angelfire, leaving the computer on overnight to, hopefully, wake up with a full album...

Lol I recall going into Lesbian chat rooms and pretending to be a girl and sending girls nude pics so they would send me some. Those were the days.
