I use to sever files for various gross via IM and emails. Then of course IRC came along and we started to do it from that using scripts and bots.

I remember Millions of AOL CD Discs being in circulation. Stuck to the covers of magazines and everywhere you looked.

Stuck to the bottom of cups is what I remember. They became coffee cup mats.
I actually know someone who still uses AOL and swears that they're the biggest and best internet provider in the world. He literally won't be told otherwise.

Close, but he doesn't smoke

My first experience of the Internet was using a Windows 95 PC with a 28K Dial-Up modem. Probably AOL, but i can't remember exactly. Ten minutes for one booby pic. It was horrendous!

I still have some clients that use AOL. And they pay like $25 a month. On top of that, a few of them also have DSL, so they pay for that as well.

OMG...I was a teenager, I though I was so cool with my "proggies," punting people and visiting administrative keywords most people never saw. What a terrible service compared to the actual internet. It did get me more interested in programming though, playing around with Visual Basic.

I'll tell you about a flashback: finding my uncle's old portable phone. Not mobile, portable, as in a huge leather case that contained an analog device that would still allow you to receive calls sent to your home number. That's some craziness for how far tech has come.
LOL. A flash back to five years ago? How about a flashback to when your cell phone no longer had to be hard wired to your car's electrical system!!!
Lol yah tech is just advancing so fast.

I have some mobile magazines from 2001/03. I laugh every single time i read them. There are some exciting news about the new thing called "bluetooth" and "WAP". The Nokia 5110 is wildly popular and there's a discussion about the future of mobile gaming. It's hilarious!

I am kind of bored of Memphis May Fire, Of Mice & Men, Woe Is Me, As I Lay Dying, and Sleeping With Sirens. Just started listening to Betraying the Martyrs but they're already getting old. I'm Making this thread for ideas for people like me for new bands, unknown bands that are getting there (Crown the Empire = example)... So go ahead and start posting some new music for all us metalheads out there to enjoy. Or you can just post your favorite band here or bandS and why.... you'd be surprised at the bands that epople dont know of.
