The main thing I remember about AOL way back when is that you only got a certain amount of hours to use it per month and if you went over they started charging extra

dumdum666 ,

In addition to that you had to pay for the dialup itself too…

mindbleach ,

And if your local number was busy and you dialed another, it could cost a metric shitload of money, because long-distance was apparently transmitted on the finest golden threads honed by fifth-generation artisans.

One of the weirdest generational gaps we almost never talk about is how we got to ‘of course you can talk to anyone anytime’ immediately after decades of ‘hey you wanna meet up for a burger?’ costing more than the burger.

I remember AOL on 3.5 floppies. You could put tape over a specific hole and re-use the disk.

You could do that with any copy protected floppy. That was the little sliding tab in the corner. Tab open = read-only. Tab closed = read & write.

CADmonkey ,

I remember the AOL disks not having the sliding tab, either it had been pried out or it was just a disk that didn’t have it.

Bene7rddso ,

AOL didn’t want you to reuse them so they didn’t have the tab

teft ,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Correct. Any disks that the company didn’t want erased, like marketing disks, didn’t have the slide tab. Hence the op mentioning they used tape instead.

Senuf ,

Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.

Hah, half of one of my passwords is the username from my dialup ISP from about 98. Right in the feels.
