When will AOL die? I thought they were already dead outside of an email & online music service portal.

AOL? What's that?

I haven't read the article, but I bet they're keeping the 2/3 of their staff who are responsible for mailing me those $#%*&@# CD's every week.

 

[CivicFan]

They still mail CD-s?

AOL should have got in the broadband business.

No kidding.
How could they have not seen that one coming?

I always hoped AOL would one day die slowly.

 

[ToyotaNSaturn]

Your day has come!

 

[PandaBear]

I though they died in the late 90s already.

 

[DragRace]

Cant believe their still around

They were for a short time. They had a DSL plan or something. We ordered a modem from them but there was some issue where it never arrived and my dad found out using cable would be cheaper anyway so we canceled it.

 

[OVERKILL]

They still have DSL, I have a client who has it.

I know one guy who still USES AOL....

So, there's at least one.

They work great for target practice at the shooting range(I mean the CDs, not the employees!).

I remember when you used to get an AOL floppy in the mail about every week. I never had to buy floppies. Just reformat and you were good to go.
