Mindspring

I was listening to a classic show today and Art was going on and on about how good his internet service provider Mindspring was. It didn't appear to be a paid advertisement and I can't verify whether he was getting cash (or free service) for comment but he seemed to sell it well. So did any of you guys change your ISP and go with Arts?

No, but I tried to. We could only get aol where I lived. Needed that local dial up number back then.

I also almost talked my dad into web tv as we were both impressed with the ad art did.
It was just too expensive for us so we kept aol.

No, but I did try the "potency" supplements he hawked... I've been priapic for the better part of two decades now.

HA!
Only rich people had internet in the 90's.
I went to the library to check Art's site.

Good one.
Does anybody remember SeaSilver?
I drank so much of that stuff.
