Lol AOL discs had better distribution than the actual internet. One in the mail, one in a magazine, three in the junk drawer. You could lose the install disc and still find another before Windows finished starting up. At some point it stopped being software and became a household material.
That shiny little disc promised a whole new online world, then ended up holding a coffee mug next to the computer. Pretty impressive career change. Somewhere in a drawer there is probably still one waiting to get a family online, buried under dead batteries and a cable nobody can identify.
