AOL Disks suck. Since the invention of the computer, America Online (AOL) has been providing very slow dial-up internet service to those willing to give up their credit card, social security number and a secret question used if you forgot your password. Every year AOL would constantly try to attract more people by producing a new version of its service, each having a different number.

abstract	AOL Disks suck. Since the invention of the computer, America Online (AOL) has been providing very slow dial-up internet service to those willing to give up their credit card, social security number and a secret question used if you forgot your password. Every year AOL would constantly try to attract more people by producing a new version of its service, each having a different number. The order of the numbers is completely random and many mathematicians have struggled to find some sort of pattern amongst the numbers, but until now it could not be decoded. The versions of AOL so far have been (in this order): 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.11 for Workgroups, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 (AOL XP), 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 9.0 SE. Some are guessing that the next version will be 3.14 while others argue that it will definitely be 123 according to the lunar calendar and position of Pluto. It is uncertain whether this theory will hold now that Pluto is no longer a planet. Others argue that now there are dwarves involved, which means anything can happen. Software engineers have realised that this is a perfect source of true random numbers, and is now the preferred method for obtaining random numbers in the OpenBSD UNIX like operating system. Some one once predicted one of the numbers in an SSH handshake, but that was a purely coincidence and resulted in the birth of a puppy... somehow.
