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!

Now we have a terrific new President-Elect AND a new e-mail start for Bob Brink.

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

I thought it was the craziest thing I’d ever heard. “The video rental place?“

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.
