Is this mainly a US-centric take though? In the UK, yes we had AOL here and a fair number of people I knew had it, but it was never dominant as far as I could tell (I'd be happy to be corrected, I only came in around 1997). It was MSN messenger that became established as the dominant instant messenger here by about 2000, I don't really remember too many people using AIM.

My parents would send me to school with peanut butter and Marmite sandwiches. Slightly annoying that just because there's a ready-mixed version that people are now acting like it's a new thing, but at least more people get to experience it.
All other pizzas are worse than pineapple on pizza.
Now I wonder if pineapple, beans, and sausage would work.
Honestly that sounds not much different to when I was at school, in the UK, 30 years ago, especially when it comes to supply teachers.
Best controllers ever, in my opinion.
No milk for me, I don't think that's covered by the chart.
Just Thunderbird is fine for me, has all the features I want and I already get my email there (but even if I didn't I'd struggle to find an RSS reader with its features).
Downvotes are disabled on Beehaw, we don't see them even on communities on other instances. I find it makes it a much more pleasant experience.
OpenSUSE, it's what I'd be using if Fedora didn't exist.
It was Red Hat Linux 8.0 (not to be confused with RHEL 8), I think, that I first dabbled in Linux, that was around early 2003, and then I moved on to Fedora Core 1. But I went exclusively-Linux with Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) in 2006.
I've moved around since then but for the last 5 years I've ended up back on Fedora, where I've been since version 28, now version 39.
"Square one" sounds good to me!

Yes, the differences are fascinating, I know Minitel was big in France. To my mind it was Freeserve that brought the internet to the masses in the UK (and spawned many dozens of similar ISPs in the late-90s), but seems to be a bit of a footnote now. My peers first started messaging through YIM (Yahoo! Instant Messenger) before MSN took over as the default. I remember AOL was perceived as an expensive ISP which limited the popularity of AIM.
