No, Tom is RIGHT.  :)

In Olden Tymes, AOL (like CompuServe) was a service unto itself, not
connected to the Internet. When you went to AOL, there was nowhere else to
go. And if you had an AOL account and your buddy had a CompuServe account,
you used the phone to talk to him because there was no email between the two
services.
 
He is, however, wrong about AOL ever being cool.
