I only had AOL 9.0, back in roughly 2004. It was ugly, but not as ugly as 4.0.
My parents got their first broadband internet, and AOL were the provider.
I had access to the "kids" feature on it, which basically gave you a homepage with links to a bunch of crappy childrens games (mostly fill-in-the-blank like things, like Word Blanks). To go to any other web address you had to e-mail your parents account and get them to give you permission.
Which my parents couldn't be bothered to do, so they just let me use their account which gave you ordinary access to the internet.
I still use my @aol.com email
Me too, but mainly as a backup e-mail where password reset requests for my main e-mail accounts go.
Also has my Blockland reciept in it.
