Download the latest AOL software and see what all the fuss is about. AOL 3.0 is even faster and easier to use than before. We're always adding new local access numbers, so check our database for a high-speed connection near you.

AOL 3.0 for Windows 3.x (3.2 megabytes)
AOL 3.0 for Windows 95 (11.4 megabytes)
AOL 3.0 for Macintosh (7.8 megabytes)

America Online Announces Support for 33.6K Modem Technology
AOL Networks, a subsidiary of America Online, Inc., announced plans to support 33.6 kilobit-per-second (Kbps) high-speed modems in AOLnet -- the world's largest dial-up network. Over 500 access numbers will be upgraded to 33.6 Kbps modems, allowing AOL members with AOL version 3.0 and modems that support 33.6 Kbps to take advantage of these speeds !

:haha:  And they will be saying that stupid A55 shizz when they are pushing AOhell version 119, sorry AOL doesnt even let ppl get their email from a Cox account and many others.... and as we all know if you search they dont give you choices they send you where they want to (getting paid) what is so strange is the number of ppl that have it and tell me they love it. When my Uncle changed over to Cox he was freaking because he didnt have all that B.S. now a year later he tells me he cant understand what he ever saw in AOL..... Grrrrrrrrrr  :flipa:

S#!t, we could start a whole "ITT We talk about what a S#!t service AOL is". And they make it difficult to get rid of too.Once they got you on the phone, "Oh, how about I give you a free month to change your mind" blah blah blah. Just cut me off bitch, I already uninstalled that ad ridden software.
I'd just a soon hook up to the net with some string and cans before I'd EVER consider those bastards.

.......but I'm not bitter.. :whaa:

   Screw AO hell they freaking ripped me off for like 3 months that were supposed to be free because everytime I called to cancell they told me they would give me another month so I stayed for several months then got a bill for like 100 dollars or something and I called them and they said I got the dates wrong or something and said there was nothing they could do!!! I said a few bad words serveral times to them!!! And finally we had the bill done to 3 months so we paid it they screwed us out of our money f%^$#^5ers!!!!

Before AOL:

Q-Link disk

Q-Link was AOL's (then called Quantum Computer Services) service for the Commodore computer. You could call it the first real precursor to the AOL service, since it provided news, entertainment, chat, etc. Before Quantum was Quantum, its name was CoVideo Corp., and its product was GameLine, an online service for owners of Atari game machines. It allowed people to download games over the phone lines.


I still miss Prodigy Classic, my first "isp". They succumbed to y2k  cry
