I had totally forgotten that Erols used to be the place to rent videos. You could also buy TVs from them, right? Or was it to get them fixed? Didn’t they have a store near Bailey’s Crossroads near the Super Giant?

Good luck with your dead erols account. At least it is returning a message. Those who could never change quite change us from the erols account still think we are receiving their messages (mostly spammers –Hellloooo out there??? Anybody home?) Welcome to Comcast!

I always wondered how the “erols” got into your e-mail address in the first place. Now we have a terrific new President-Elect AND a new e-mail start for Bob Brink.

Evidently hell hath no fury like a delegate spurned by an ISP…

Lord, you gave up all that history and tradition due to one small frustration and moved your account . . . to the cable company?

You’ll note I’m still with AOL and dreaming of the day that the Dulles corridor will become the new Silicon Valley.

I remember when Erols’ first started offering dialup. I thought it was the craziest thing I’d ever heard. “The video rental place?“

Wow! While I’m sorry to hear of the frustration you incurred, props to you for holding on so long. I still remember renting videos at Erols video back in the day.
