I Want Your AOL CDs
Anyone remember the futurama episode where they found a huge pile of garbage floating in space launched by earthlings in the 21st century? Of notable items there were loads of AOL discs.

For several years, an AOL floppy was my go to boot disk for Windows 95 installs and repairs.
