@internetarchive AOL on Windows originally used a windowing program called Geoworks. That is how I got introduced to the program that became my first pre-Linux desktop. I was a Geoworks supporter for years, even after AOL switched from using it.

@internetarchive one of my supplier contacts at work still uses his AOL.com account to email me. It's like getting a message from 1995.
