Did AOL get it right over 15 years ago ?

Bad UIs never die, they just get recycled by a new generation of UI designers who don't remember that it didn't work out particularly well the last time around.
(Essentially the tech version of "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"...)

You're not even on topic. Next we know you'll repeat how you use a Model M.

What I like about it the most is how the AOL window says "Kids Only".
