    LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This ? was the worst! I used to go do something real quick like make a sandwich and it would just be getting started. The worst is when that ? would finally load up and then the connection would just drop. Had to restart that ? and go through it again. What about when somebody would call or make a call and ? up the connection though? SMH.
    I swear an aol cd would come in the mail every other day smh
    That's because they got greedy and started making people pay. Those CD's used to be hard to come by, had to use somebody else CD and pass it around. When everybody switched to net zero they got desperate. ? used to use the A.O.L case for their CD's and hard disk.

    We actually got an AOL CD a like 6 years ago and then that was the last I heard of it lol. I hated that ? , you couldn't look at porn cuz it might freeze and it would be stuck on that or it would print it out.
    ? bruh, That ? has happened to everyone at least once. When the printer would jam that ? was ? hilarious. I used to help out at the library and sometimes I would fix the printer when it jammed. All kinds of freaky ? was printed by people you would least expect.

    I'm pretty sure many children in third world countries still have to deal with it.

    Used to think everything website had a secrete virus with that ? but it was just that ? being slow as hell. I was a kid then but if I were to look up a certain toy I wanted I would get school girls getting a lesbian train run on them instead. I was so glad when Comcast came out.
