I had a request at work come to me today from someones AOL e-mail address and all I could picture was some guy on the other end anxiously awaiting my response accompanied by the famed "You've Got Mail" voice. I think I'd be embarrased to have @aol.com as my personal e-mail at this point, nevermind my as my business e-mail. Do you really want people thinking that your business is still using dial up? Or that you spend your days e-mailing people with addresses like Laxxbro83 or xxprincessxx? I apologize if those are anyones real AOL names...actually no I don't, you have it coming to you if you're still using the same e-mail address from the 8th grade.
It also made me wonder if my old @aol.com e-mail was still active. I don't even know how I'd go about checking it at this point, but I'm sure if I could it would be full of porn offers, male enhancement advertisements, and offers of riches from Nigerian royalty.
Really makes me miss the good old days of the internet, trolling around in chat rooms, gathering people's a/s/l's, making fun of alcoholics in their Alcoholics Anonymous support chats. Good times, good times.
