For all of you old enough to remember and really don’t want to be reminded how old you really are, we are reminding you anyway. The year was 1995 and the hot commodity was ‘online services’ like America Online. They had everything you could possibly want on a dialup connection speed of 9600 baud….and I bet you had a mullet too.
But there was a brief time when these services were king — and a company like AOL was powerful enough to purchase a giant like Time Warner for $164 billion.
