Usually it takes me back to the mid 60’s.

In the past year they've 'grabbed' a few dozen subscribers from my address book (used to send out LUWN) and .... deleted them w/out telling me. Amazingly, most of them are AOL users and I still pay $350/yr to use AOL.
I pay $4.99 a month. Maybe you have the special "enhanced aggravation" version.

I stay with AOL because I have thousands of archived e-mails that I occasionally need to refer to, and I have mailing lists that I don't want to bother recreating on another platform. I figure that few enough folks still use AOL that it's not worth the major-league hackers' time to mess with it -- the only reason I would ever consider buying a Mac.
Can’t you preserve the archived messages by linking your AOL acct to your new service, then transfer them?

No, no, no.

Denny has a rotary cell phone!
That's not funny. I have a phone still in use with only a 5 digit phone number. Hemlock 3-XXXX

Phone #s in the Lehigh Valley began with either Hemlock or Congress. I suspect if somebody called that # today, it won't ring though.

The good old days of exchanges. When I was very young our exchange in Brooklyn was NIghtingale. The names were distinctive so that the repairmen could distinguish them easily when speaking over a faulty connection. The first two letters of each exchange corresponded to numbers, so the NI became 64. The HEmlock exchange should have changed to 43, and COngress should have changed to 26. No real difference except using two numbers instead of two letters; the dialing remained the same.

In New York they used an intermediate step. Our CLoverdale 8 exchange was altered to RN 3 (RN standing for nothing), then eventually just became 763. That happened back when it was still the Bell Telephone Company of New York, not NYNEX or Verizon; back when a company's name actually told you what the company did.

Young twerps. If you never had a phone number, that was a town, then a 2-4 digit number, you might as well be Gen Z

About 20 years ago, our family went to Cedar Fair in Ohio and took in Rutherford B Hayes' homestead. It still had his original telephone with a "phone book" which consisted of a small piece of paper, now laminated and all the phone #s were 2 digits.
