You’ve Got Mail!
Whenever you heard that strange noise, you knew you were close to getting internet access. The AOL dial-up internet noise was exciting in the ’90s to an embarrassing degree. Of course, there was the even more thrilling, “You got mail!” alert. All of this excitement was a bit dampened by the limitations of internet access. You had to wait until everyone in the house was off the phone, and if they picked up the phone while you were browsing the web, they heard a painful internet tone blaring in their ear. The funny thing is, 2.1 million Americans are still paying to use dial-up AOL internet in 2017!
