| Just watched some shows on the science channel about the history of the internet. A bit too fluffy, but some accurate information. The best part is how Microsoft and Google essentially stole some of their core parts from others and got away with it. |

| I still have an AOL version 1.2 DOS disk somewhere. Wish I had bought 1000 shares when they went public. They offered all members at the time 1000 shares at $10 per share. It would be worth millions today. Sadly I was a broke student at the time.
