While I hated AOL for reasons, this is the end of an era. RIP
AOL will be remembered more fondly for things like this. But, nobody ever has a fond memory of the software AOL shoved out. It was clampware, unreliable and frequently crashed.
But they gave out nice coasters
Eh....I wouldn't call them "nice". They were ok. Wouldn't put them on a nice table.
Before that, they gave out floppy disks. You could tape over the write protect hole and reuse them.
The early vibe coders.
