TIL AOL still offered dial-up internet. At long last, the 1990s will soon come to an end. | ||||||||||||||||||||

When I worked at AOL about 10 years ago, dialup was _still_ responsible for 100% of their profits. Literally every other part of the company lost money (Mapquest, AIM, Huffington Post, their ad network, etc). They were making literally billions of dollars from it and it was like 90+% profit margin or something absurd. It was like a single server running millions of virtual modems. | ||||||||||||||||||||
