Our visitors reminisce on the eeeeeee's and oooooooo's of dial-up internet as AOL says goodbye to this service that marked the '90s, when many people took their first steps into the online world. #DialUpInternet #AOL #TechNews #TechHistory | Computer History Museum

Last week, CHM Curator Marc Weber joined CNN to share the story behind AOL Dial-Up and reflect on its place in internet history to commemorate the end of an era. AOL is pulling the plug on dial-up September 30, 2025. No more squealing modems, no more busy signals—it’s really over. Don’t worry, your AOL email still lives on… just without the dial tone. After 34 years, it’s officially “Goodbye!” to the service that once said, “You’ve got mail.” #AOL #CNN #ComputerHistory #DialUp | Computer History
