LGR - Classic AOL on Modern Windows

Did you know you can sign into the old-school America Online application on Windows 8.1? As long as you have a broadband connection, it's free (for now!) Watch this to find out how to surf the web 90's-style.

Heh, my first thought was ... that's annoying modernized and painted up. Because I'm an old school AOL 3.0 guy.

Wow that's pretty dang cool, really. Funny how you randomly got into this, eh?

Maybe you found a ripple in the space-time continuum. Either that or your cougar friend is a robot.

Aww, too bad you didn't actually use a modem for nostalgia's sake, but alas, it's supposed to be a modern system... now all we have now is memories, broken links, and unlit cigarettes. AOL was good in the 90s then the novelty fell flat soon after. I mainly used AOL for meeting people online just for funsies (hopefully the kids I met were actually kids...) and used chat rooms not too often, but I remember going to the AOL chat for *NSYNC back in the day, which actually kind of bored me in the end, haha.

If I had access to a phone line, either at home or with anyone I know, I'd totally try some dial-up stuff in the future! But alas, everyone I know has cut their cords.

Funny how they announced it's shutting down just a couple weeks after I tell the world about it :)

Oh man, there are people on there still. AOL was pretty nuts back then.

Oh man, I just had instant flashbacks of using AOL back in 2002/3 while in California. On a 56k modem as well. Downloads from Kazaa at a blistering 5 kbps. Good times. ;_;

The Cartoon Network logo, Bionicle being mentioned... Yeah, if those alone don't date this, then I don't know what will. XD

I'd be more interested in getting ImagiNation running. I've heard that some people have had some luck emulating a lot of the parts of INN or providing private servers that people can use for the software.

Brings back memories of the old eclipse cafe b5 chat room. And the gaming forums. Used to help people on various games. So much so that i once had someone assume i worked for Spectrum Holobyte because i wrote up a guide to getting star Trek tng a final unity working on win95. (set up a shortcut to run it in dosmode) . Anyway guy notifies me that he's going to sue my company for "making a deal with m$ so that logitech mice didn't work with the game "

And yes the guy, who btw claimed to be a lawyer, used "M$"

So, only versions before AOL 6 will stop working after June 30th. The file libraries are all still available, but downloads are broken. Fond memories of upgrading to AOL 4.
