Subject: Diary of an AOL user

july 18- i just tried to connect to america online, which I've heard
|
||
|
is the best online service I can get. i can't connect, i dont know
|
||
|
what is wrong.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 19- some guy at the tech support center says my computer needs a
|
||
|
modem. i dont see why. hes just trying to cheat me. how dumb does he
|
||
|
think i am?
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 20- i bought the modem. i couldnt figure out where it goes. it
|
||
|
wouldnt fit in the moniter or the printer. im confused.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 21- i finally got the modem in and hooked up. that three year old
|
||
|
next door did it for me.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 22- that three year old kid next door hooked me up to america
|
||
|
online for me. hes so smart.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 23- whats the internet? i thought i was on america online, not
|
||
|
this internet thingy. im confused.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 24- the three year old kid next door showed me how to use this
|
||
|
america online stuff. he must be a genius, at least compared to me.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 25- i tried to use chat today. i tried to talk into my computer
|
||
|
but nothing happened. maybe i need to buy a microphone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 26- i found this thingy called usenet. i got out of it because im
|
||
|
connected to america online, not usenet. i went to the doctor today
|
||
|
for my regular checkup. he says that since i connected to america
|
||
|
online, my brain has mysteriously shrunk to half its normal size.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 27- these people in this usenet thingy keep using capital
|
||
|
letters. how do they do that? i never figured out how to type capital
|
||
|
letters. maybe they have a different type of keyboard.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 28- i found this thingy called the usenet oracle. it says that it
|
||
|
can answer any questions i ask it. i asked it 44 seperate questions
|
||
|
about the internet. i hope it responds soon.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 29- i found a group called rec.humor. i decided to post this joke
|
||
|
about why the chicken crossed the road. to get to the other side! ha
|
||
|
ha! i wasn't sure if i posted it right so i posted it 56 more times.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 30- i keep hearing about the world wide web. i didnt know spiders
|
||
|
grew that large.
|
||
|
|
||
|
july 31- the oracle responded to my questions today. geez, it was
|
||
|
rude. i was so angry that i posted an angry message about it to
|
||
|
rec.humor.oracle.d. i wasn't sure if it posted right so i posted it 22
|
||
|
more times.
|
||
|
|
||
|
august 1- someone told me to read the faq. geez, they didn't have to
|
||
|
use profanity.
|
||
|
|
||
|
august 2- i just read this post called make money fast. im so exited,
|
||
|
im going to make lots of money. i followed his instructions and posted
|
||
|
it to every newsgroup i could find.
|
||
|
|
||
|
august 3- i just made my signature file. its only 6 pages long, so i
|
||
|
will have to work on it some more.
|
||
|
|
||
|
august 4- i just looked at a group called alt.aol.sucks. i read a few
|
||
|
posts and i really believe that aol should be wiped off the face of
|
||
|
the earth. i wonder what an "aol" is, however.
|
||
|
|
||
|
august 5- i was asking where to find some information about something.
|
||
|
some guy told me to check out ftp.netcom.com. ive looked and looked,
|
||
|
but i cant find that group.
|
||
|
|
||
|
august 6- some guy suspended my account because of what i was doing. i
|
||
|
told him i don't have an account at his bank. hes so dumb.
