I was doing a search a few days ago for something that, I don’t know, had American and Online as tags, and Bing came up with America Online, as in AOL. I hadn’t seen the old AOL logos and screenshots of their actual screens in ages. Yeah, yeah, our family got into AOL back in the day when they were a “formidable service provider”.…
