It's awfully hazy now, but I seem to remember going through the whole sequence.  300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 14.4, 28.8, 56  - each step always seemed like a giant speed increase, considering what had preceded it.  Even if you were using a "faster" modem, the connection speed would often step down due to line noise or whatever.  300 was great for file transfers - if you can imagine.  Bulletin boards were thriving well before AOL started up.

I'M BACK. I have not been able to post since last Thursday. The site didn't recognize me. One minute I was on and next minute I was gone. Thanks Keith for fixing the problem.

 

RE: Aol, I like AOL for email. I find it very user friendly. I run a quad processor, so I am computer savy. Just happen to like AOL. Also, I have had same email address since late 1980s and I don't want to change that.

Linda, 

I think ShaleGeo was referring to the old AOL dial-up service, which no longer exist. You are most likely now accessing AOL through AT&T DSL or Comcast.

Yep, I have Comcast high speed service.  But I have heard other computer experts critize AOL, so I was just wondering if there was something I should be aware of.

I have computer professional friends and they ALL hate AOL. To each his own. I don't like change, so will probably keep the AOL screen names from now til forever. I have Comcast too
