IRC [14:05] <jhavard> holycrap, mapquest runs aolserver
IRC [14:07] <jhavard> seems to be an aol property as well.
IRC [14:08] <jhavard> since 2000. d'oh.
IRC [14:52] <jhavard> man, with all the times I've used that site, you'd think I'd have seen all the aol markings.
IRC [16:58] <Dossy> huh? yeah.
IRC [16:58] <Dossy> :)
IRC [16:59] <Dossy> it's fun when I tell people "yeah, Netscape is an AOL company."
IRC [16:59] <Dossy> or "Mapquest is an AOL company."
IRC [16:59] <Dossy> What's best is the old-schoolers who go "yeah, I'm a CompuServe member ... been one for 10 years now ... glad I'm on CompuServe, AOL sucks!" to which I tell them, "Oh? You didn't know, CompuServe is also an AOL company."
IRC [18:26] <jhavard> here's the big question, did mapquest use aolserver before or after the acquisition?
IRC [18:29] <jhavard> whoa, imap.aim.com. That just got aol a few more bonus points.
IRC [19:14] <Dossy> :)
IRC [19:14] <Dossy> after, I'm guessing.
IRC [19:14] <Dossy> oh, yeah - free, unlimited space, IMAP mail :)
IRC [19:14] <Dossy> gmail, eat that :)
IRC [19:14] <Dossy> anyway, brb.
