I was super impressed. My first website? Disney.com (: haha, I feel old /: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515595 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 00:11:27 +0000 JoeysMama 515595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I remember it! How much we hated that sound and how long and drawn out it was. It's funny...the other day, my 12 yr old niece was watching some youtube video and it had that signature sound in it. I realized she had never heard it in real life. It was so crazy to think that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515543 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:03:12 +0000 HLK208 515543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I hated having to wait to use the Internet until my mom was off of the phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515536 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:59:45 +0000 Meridian 515536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I racked up some MAJOR phone bills when we first got it! The free cd said something like "50 free hours!" But I didn't realize the phone bill would be affected. I think at least 2 of the bills were like almost a thousand.</p> <p>I would also wake up in the middle of the night to use AOL at 2am, after my parents went to bed... they limited my time in the computer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515416 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:46:21 +0000 Boogs 515416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yes!

I was actually going on to AOL when my dad had his first heart attack. He normally took a certain amount of time changing out the laundry, and didn't walk back past, and I noticed, turned around, and saw what was happening. Funny what connections our brains make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515296 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:08:37 +0000 prettylizy 515296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, not AOL since I'm in Canada, but I've sat through that noise many a time in my youth! I also remember when logging minutes was a big deal, and you only had so many minutes of internet time per month.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0&#038;feature=youtube_gdata_player" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0&#038;feature=youtube_gdata_player</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515286 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:03:03 +0000 CarrieLouWho 515286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes!!! And sadly I still hear it when I go home bc my parents house is in the boonies and they can only get dial up! And my mom still uses aol... So so sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515260 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 19:47:46 +0000 bpcmarj 515260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, to be 13 again. We had a dedicated phone line for the internet because my mom had an ebay businesa. I also remember there were like a few different numbers you could call in each area. Man, AOL was so incredible back then. I take tge internet for granted now (as I am typing this from my phone). I wonder if you can still see AOL profiles anywhere? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-dial-into-aol-using-a-phone-modem#post-515246 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 19:41:24 +0000 sorrycharlie 515246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES, lol!
