AOL is finally shutting down dial-up

As a septuagenarian, my father’s story was typical of long-time AOL dial-up subscribers. His subscription was a safety blanket. He was certain he didn’t want the dial-up part, however he didn’t need to danger shedding entry to his inventory portfolio, investor boards, and electronic mail. His setup labored, and he might afford to maintain paying the subscription he had dutifully paid for over a decade.
