Or 3 cheap but decent bottles of wine! 
Yeah I loved AOL until not only did I get hacked and spam sent to all my contacts but AOL sent me a message that sending spam was not allowed. Goodbye AOL, hello Gmail.
When I see someone with an AOL email address, I could pretty much guess the generation.
I still have my old aol account. It definitely dates me:) my D laughs at me. But I started using gmail about 5 yrs ago and it is worlds better for clearing spam. I use my old aol account when I have to sign up for something and use it for junk mail. Rarely check it.
My post was a dig at AOL more than a praise of gmail 
I still mostly use my “retro” AOL email. I find the user interface is cleaner, and the spam filter seems just as good. I have a gmail I use for business purposes; it forwards to the gmail acct, and I just go into gmail if I have to reply or send something.
^correction - gmail forwards to AOL.
Gmail is a problem in countries that block Google (such as China). Yahoo mail is pretty good.
@ oldfort :))
I am the only person I know with an AOL email address. I do use gmail as a backup/secondary.
It’s not old. It’s vintage. :)>-
I like to say that my AOL account demonstrates that I was an early adopter of email. My kids don’t buy it.
I agree with @VeryHappy . Also, there was an article a while back that said many famous actors use their aol account. I have 5 email accounts. Aol is my oldest, and that address is the shortest, so easiest to give out when necessary.
I think using AOL is so retro that the hipsters will be adopting it soon.
Another AOL dinosaur here. If someone is going to judge me by my email address, that’s okay by me because we have different priorities and mindsets anyway.
I also prefer making phone calls over texting, cook from scratch, and do all kinds of other retro stuff.
Don’t most email programs show the sender’s name instead of their email address? Unless I have to check the message source, I rarely pay attention to who their mail provider is.
@doschicos I even take paper, drag a pen across it, fold paper, place in envelope, address, frantically search for stamp, walk middle-aged butt to mailbox, place letter in mailbox and put up mailbox flag…phew I’m exhausted just thinking about it…
Now I need that wine 
Are you going to drag yourself to a wine store the old-fashioned way instead of buying it with one click on Amazon?
@BunsenBurner I count going to grocery store as WW “activity points” which offset wine consumption
