Disappointed I never really got to enjoy AOL chat rooms when they were hookup central.
It had a stigma back then. Nothing like the norm today, but AOL was the late 90s tinder. I always say that I wish I had something like Tinder back in the day when I was partying and younger, but I guess I sort of did.

i want to say the first real aol connected computer we got i was in the 8th or 9th grade. So around 14/15 years old.
As an adult i'm glad to have basically grown and changed with computers, and wouldn't want to live without them. But I'm very thankful that they weren't apart of my youth growing up.
Youth was for riding trails in the park on our bikes, smoking marlboro reds we just traded a hustler for, digging up other hustlers that we burried in the park, and then riding our bikes home and having dinner ready on the table. Mixed with a lot of little league, swimming and movies. tGoat childhoods.
I feel bad for kids today, there seems to be zero level of freedom. None of the parents I know now with young kids would even think about letting their 10 yr old kids ride off on their bikes for several hours getting into all sorts of trouble.
