kids will never know the thrill of free aol hours on a mystery cd-rom.

or columbia house: 10 CDs for a penny (and a lifetime of guilt).

or paying 25¢ to send "hey".

now? free wifi, unlimited movies, unlimited music, unlimited texts.

somehow the magic feels normal.

@dansup we didn't have any free internet, but we could "go buy some internet" because it came on cards like these with login credentials

@dansup but also it felt like magic to me because I had a life back then... now the internet *is* most of my life, unfortunately. I'd love to change that eventually.
