Farewell, AOL
Sep. 6th, 2005 07:45 pmSo, I just canceled my America Online account. It turns out I've been an AOL member for almost exactly 12 years — I signed up in August of 1993. That's alota bits under the bridge.
Still, I haven't used AOL for much of anything in ages. We've got Verizon DSL at home (an absolute necessity considering how much stuff Christopher and I both do online), I've transitioned over to a Verizon e-mail address at home, I've got separate e-mail for work, and any or all of AOL's content that interested me migrated over to the Web long ago. So it was past time. Still, I'll kind of miss it, like a house you lived in or a place you visited for years after you've moved on to another place, another home.
Of course, as soon as I hung up with AOL customer service our wireness network (we're a one desktop, two WiFi laptops home) decided to observe a long "moment of silence." Coincidence?
