  • Wow! (online service)

    Wow! (styled WOW!) was an online service run by CompuServe.com in 1996 and early 1997. Started in March 1996, it was originally thought to be an improved version of CompuServe's software, but it was later announced that it would be a user-friendly stand-alone "family" online service and was widely advertised on TV as such. Wow! was the first internet service to be offered with a monthly "unlimited" rate ($17.95) and stood out because of its brightly colored, seemingly hand-drawn pages.

    The first release of this program was quite buggy, with many random shutdowns of the service and loss of email messages. The service developed a small, but very loyal fan base. However, this was not enough and the service was shut down on January 31, 1997.

    There is a strong group of "WOWIES" who have fought on for years after its demise, to stay connected through chat groups, and a webring. This group believes they were "sold out" by Compuserve because the service was being bought out by AOL, who began offering a $19.95 unlimited service as it was shutting down WOW.

    This ain't no motherf**kin' stick up just pick up the stick up
    And watch it roll real close rolling out of my hand 'til
    It cracks to that f**king dome living off the curb
    That peels you from the curb a lick rest off
    Do you dig many in '93 been making them fools 'bout
    Round bumping around me you'll want to run from
    Underground at the best walk the live from the verb
    On the beats I won't see you f**kin' head
    Peers I flow and mother she won't drain herself
    And won't be caught in all live in a big world
    Began just because
    My life is unrise wipe
    Lyrical did did
    Get straight quickly making fools go down
    Bumping around me you'll want to see from
    Underground at the best slide five blocks from the verb
    On the beats I won't see you fuckin' head
    Peers I flow and mother she won't drain herself
    And won't be caught in all live in a big world
    Began just because
    My life is unrise wipe
    Lyrical did did
    Try to hide!
    Unrise! Lyrical!
    Unrise! Lyrical!
    Began just because
    My life is unrise wipe
    Lyrical did
    Began just because
    My life is unrise wipe
    Lyrical did did
