I used to grab handfuls of AOL cd's from their displays on the way to the range and used them for targets!

AOL is for people who don't know which way their mouse points.

Maybe it's not fair, but when I do business with someone and they give me an @aol.com email address, it immediately lowers my opinion of them.

I preferred the floppies. At least you could format them for trading porn.

Back when aol sent out floppies I wrote a program that posted requests to their website. Got over 100 free disks in a month!

I reformatted them for my Amiga

Holy crap did that bring back bad memories. My first modem, though, was 2,400 baud. No browsers until NCSA Mosaic in the early '90s. Then AOL came along with their free floppies (you could usually wipe them and reuse them) and eventually free coasters. Ah, I guess they're fond memories after all.

I signed up for a NEW YORK TIMES account.

and posted this:

Winston Smith Hudson Valley

Quick, before the mob has a chance to think... vote to kill Socrates for the Children!

The NYT is written at a fifth grade reading level for a reason. Seeing these comments, perhaps they should further lower their already low standards.

I suggest anyone who has a moment of awareness of their general ignorance and bigotry try to Google the BBC documentary "Century of the Self", and learn about the "mass democracy" you are an unwitting part of.

How many more children must be sacrificed to your "liberal" Fascism?

Seriously debating logging into the mail server, and the web server, and firewalling all their ip ranges.

First came floppies, went to the trash. Next came CDs, we shot them up. Then came Dixie Chicks CDs, blew the shit outta them. Good for target shooting in the old days.
