      I’ve never even used AOL mail and I still know exactly what the notification sounds like.

        I was born in the 2000’s and didn’t have an email account until 2012, and even I know what it sounds like.

      …am I old? I know it’s no longer part of pop culture, but it was one of the first things I can remember where technology became part of pop culture.

        Broadband had pretty much had taken over most places by the mid-2000s. That was 20 years ago. There are people who can drink now who were born after 9/11.

        What I’m trying to say is, yes, we’re old. Dialup to younger folks is like what rotary phones were to us.
