The AOL Cozies.
We Americans like our beverages cold. We also
like our cold beverages. I think I had more cozies over the years, but these are
the two that stuck. My favorite is the one with "The More Windows You Open, the
Cooler It Gets." (I mean, can you imagine the sheer magnitude of marketing
genius required to come up with that line?). And a propos of nothing, I don't
like it when people say "American Online," instead of "America Online." What is
"American Online," anyway? A lonely guy in Des Moines sending files to himself
on Saturday night? OK, so I've been known to upload files on Saturday night.
Never mind. Just don't say it, OK?

screen you see there; it says "Welcome, Julia" on top, and "In the Spotlight" on
the left). |

The highly coveted Q-Link crystal rock.
This had to be the most
kitschy item Quantum ever distributed.
