I am not gonna lie when I say I miss the old Desk Top set up and then installing AOL or MSN. I would stay on the computer all day and night after work. Even hearing the dial up sounds brings back great memories of learning how to use a Computer back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It all changed after Windows 98 and XP. My Laptop had no memory after I installed Windows 10. I couldn't even install the security updates. It became useless
I've had AOL since the late 90's. Although I haven't paid anything for the service since the late 2000's (2007, I believe). That's when AOL introduced their BYOA (Bring Your Own Access) plan at the time. I believe it turned into the Free AOL plan, which I've been on ever since and I still use my AOL email address regularly

I did phone tech support for them from 94 to 97. Such an iconic service.
Special memories from back in the day.
My dad still has an account and uses it every day.
I think the AOL service still exists, but you need a preexisting Internet connection, like an MMO.

End of an era
if the modem on the other side answers...... SOMETHING is still there.. This requires investigation lol
I used to connect to AOL at 14,400 back in the day too lol
The end of one Era! I still remember my modem Acorp 33.600kbps from 1999 :).
Times change so much... and unfortunately I cannot say for good...
I loved AOL as a kid and still remember my screen name
AOL still have a dial-up service, but their connection telephone #s are hard to find, espexially in rural areas.

I miss the sound and AOL, I don't have my AOL email account anymore. I might just get one again, lol, wink.
2 years ago I couldn’t get into my AOL account that I’ve had since 94. And there’s nobody to call for support

Interesting. Sad how it is unable to connect.

@@knowtech2576 It still works....my dad still has an account and logs in every day. So, I don't understand what's going on with this.
The title is a question, not a statement.

Dial-up was still slow back then.
