 15 years ago, an AOL email meant you were an early adopter, now it just means you’re old 
 I have a friend who still has & uses daily his AOL email address. He’s old. 
 But those hotmail.com addresses. 🔥 😆 
 still love a yahoo.com address 😂💜 
 HoTMaiL told his mom it was worth way more and he crushed it 

guy was like “i know what i got” to bill gates 
 💯

 I thought people still using AOL in 2002 were old 😳 
 both 
 remember AOHell aol4free and all the aol bots? 
 I still use an aol address. I’m old and never giving it up. 
 At this point it’s kind of kewl.

Full circle. 
 lol, I will say the 20 something receptionist at my gym asked me how to get “a short email address like that” 😅😂 
 that moment when you hear someone say ‘hotmail’ 
 I’m surprised it’s still usable with all the spam out there lol my yahoo account become unusable years ago 
 Interesting. Of all my addresses my AOL gets the least spam by far.
