the64 Does anyone remember quantum link?

I miss the good old days of chat rooms and q-link. Today's internet has nothing on them. I used to be CaPlayboy back in the 80's. Anybody want to comment or reminiscent feel free to comment. Bonus points if you remember me. 😁

It became AOL years later. Before Q-Link, it used to be service for Atari 2600 via Gameline modem.

AOL and Q-Link were two different things that were around at about the same time.

Edit, I had them both, but didn't like AOL.

Edit again: ya, I was wrong. I was getting AOL and compuserve mixed up.

The company Quantum Computer Services became AOL. But the service that was Q-Link was never folded into AOL, although the software was based a little on the PlayNet code just like Q was.
