Ironically Steve Case just came through where I live. I imagine if I was there to meet him I would let him know that AOL is basically responsible for me being a professional software developer.

I remember building all kinds of weird "PrOgZ": punters, mass imers, emailers, scrollers, etc.

So much fun :D

Oh man, I was in a group of 'punters' called the seven deadly sins way back, our favorite target was yahoo chat rooms though because they had this voice chat system and if the poor end user left their mic on you could hear them getting hit with a few thousand im's and freak out.
