Sessions at aol email
The nostalgia!
AOL (America Online) was a popular internet service provider in the 1990s and early 2000s. One of its notable features was the ability to have multiple "sessions" or "windows" open simultaneously, allowing users to access multiple email accounts, chat rooms, and online services at the same time.
Here's how it worked:
- When you logged into your AOL account, you would see a list of available "sessions" or "windows" on the screen.
- Each session represented a separate connection to the AOL server, allowing you to access different services or accounts.
- You could create multiple sessions by clicking on the "New Session" button, which would open a new window or tab.
- Each session had its own set of icons and menus, allowing you to access different services, such as email, chat rooms, or online games.
- You could switch between sessions by clicking on the desired session icon or using the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab).
AOL's session feature was convenient for users who wanted to access multiple email accounts, chat with friends in different chat rooms, or play online games while still keeping their main email account open.
However, with the rise of modern web browsers and the decline of AOL's popularity, the need for multiple sessions has largely disappeared. Today, most users can access multiple websites and services simultaneously using a single browser window or tab.
