AOL Shuts Down CompuServe
Oracle Goddess writes "After 30 years, CompuServe is all but dead, as AOL has pulled the plug on the once-great company. The original CompuServe service, first offered in 1979, provided its users with addresses such as 73402,3633 and was the first major online service. CompuServe users will be able to use their existing CompuServe Classic (as the service was renamed) addresses at no charge via a new e-mail system, but the software that the service was built on has been shut down. Tellingly, the current version of the service's client software, CompuServe for Windows NT 4.0.2, dates back to 1999."

We wouldn't know -- it would be something utterly intelligible to us, but we'd recognize the word "fossil" in it somewhere...
That's because it will most likely be a mix of vally, redneck, and inner city slang... ...And our reply will sound pompous and faggy to them.
