AOL came with it. I was like WTF is this and I installed the floppy and it was like attach phone line. and I was like Ohh waaaa? and then I am at their menu. And I was like "Chat room.. hmm ok" and then I was introduce to what "Online" was. and it was just what came to be known to me as an IRC and I see what I thought was a message board chat loading (which I remember from the 70s from a school computer CS class in 8th grade) but it was a bunch of knuckleheads talking in real time.
and then I realized.. this is a conversation in real time and I jumped in. I said "Is this real time" and they were like "no" or Duh" and so I felt a bit stepped on and said "Hey we're all new at this at some time" and was introduced to some more sarcasm. this sarcasm became to be known (as I learned) "Trolling" and thus the game began.
AOL was free for 10 hours. then 5 bucks an hour after that. But here was the interesting thing. AOL encourage a new account for a free new 10 hours. The operator said "hey, just between you and I.. you can just ask for your CC card to be reset then reinstall a new disk you can get from a computer store".
Later I found out that the millions of accounts made were mostly cancelled and recreations from the same people. the real number was in the 10s or 100 thousand users. not the millions. this is called Stock Price Padding to make the stock values look better. Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter and (No doubt friend of Jeff Hunter) was CEO of AOL near Stanford U in Palo Alto back in the 90s and 2k period.
But there was also Comp-U-Serve dialup. not as friendly with the freebies. so I fucked off Comp-U-Serve which had some amazing free shit off their online bank. Games and shit. the first 3D game I played (Wolfenstein) I might of got from them.
AOL was the first place I learned about the Internet. But it didn't seem to work on my first 9600bps modem.
it worked it just loaded all retarded and slow.
I never could figure out if there was a way to use telnet on a dialup to connect to the internet. I mean how would you? you're not on an IPS so how can a url domain load. is there a program that converts this to a gateway of some type using just a dialup?
by the late 1990s (like 98-99) we got DSL and then Cable internet. I think it was Viacom which just had been bought out by Comcast.. but went on the brand Viacom for some time. can't remember that far fucking back. our DSL was all retarded and slow. Walnut Creek was free dialup until the DSL was available and then they started charging toll to phones. the guy up the street could call Walnut Creek for free but we were just over that fuck-tarded toll line. this caused my wife to go off on me with a 200 dollar plus phone bill that was like 15 bucks the month before for the same shit. So I got DSL.
You're all young noobians. you wouldn't remember dialup and how you literatlly became your computer.. you would feel your body tighten up and your bughole pucker up everytime you heard that gurgling sound of the processor fucking up with glitches and then drop carrier. everytime you fucking were downloading something and that shit stopped at 98-99% and got linenoise on the screen.

This is about as frustrating as trying to install debian or freebsd.
dont fucking use it. it's buggy as fuck. I got rid of my AMD after the nightmarish problems I and a million others had while using it. Dell used to be such a great brand and AMD were always more stable to pentium from my own experience. just un-fucking-install that shit.
