Oh, and speaking of vintage America Online

QLINK IS BACK IN THE HOUSE!

For those who don't know the history, America Online began as a dialup online service for owners of the Commodore 64 home computer. It was called QLink and was owned by Quantum Communications, which remained as the name of the company well into the AOL era.

Now we just need a revived PC-Link for all those Tandy customers.

Don't forget Apple Link -- same thing, but for apples. I remember signing up to beta test it, but not being able to with my lowly //e and 300 baud modem. Not to be confused with Apple's until-then private internal Apple Link that the retail/service vendors used.
