I remember getting AOL CDs in my box of apple jacks
I don’t even know my online banking password.
Password managers ftw
I’m in the same boat. One password. TO RULE THEM ALL
Well, hopefully MFA too
I remember AOL on 3.5 floppies. You could put tape over a specific hole and re-use the disk.
You could do that with any copy protected floppy. That was the little sliding tab in the corner. Tab open = read-only. Tab closed = read & write.
I remember the AOL disks not having the sliding tab, either it had been pried out or it was just a disk that didn’t have it.
AOL didn’t want you to reuse them so they didn’t have the tab
Correct. Any disks that the company didn’t want erased, like marketing disks, didn’t have the slide tab. Hence the op mentioning they used tape instead.
Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.

Oh man. In 1997 a sweet looking car Called a Plymouth Prowler came out and little tween me made my aim name, email, and eventually ebay name Prowler1234 (numbers changed).
I never thought about how totally sketch it was to be on aim and in forums with the screen name Prowler. Lol
It’s still my ebay account name.
Well, at least you didn’t really like the Adidas Predator’s.
The golden age of getting lego island and roller coaster tycoon with my froot loops. Now all I get is diabetes

I remember getting AOL CDs fucking everywhere.
I think you mean to say “coasters”, not AOL CDs.
Changing IRQs on my modem using jumpers. Good times…
Calling Seagate to find out the Write Precomp Cylinder for my HD, because autoconfigure didn’t exist and the letters had smudged off.
I think I still have a couple in my garage with the settings printed on a piece of paper I had taped to them. What a pain. No more cable select for us!
My card’s PIN is just the date when the bank reset it for me… 20 years ago.
I changed banks and I set my new card to the same PIN.
It’s sentimental at this point.
So… who else has an aol email for his Steam account name?
ALL HAIL PinballWizard6969 !!!
Sounds of a door slamming and opening all day long.
the people in the comments really do be just giving their bank passwords away
Joke’s on you. We have no money in there anyway
I miss the coffee pot….
Hah, half of one of my passwords is the username from my dialup ISP from about 98. Right in the feels.
