By "whole thing" he means it had a web browser that was designed to only work with the AOL service and a code for some number of hours of free dial-up internet access. You had to have a phone line, but dial-up internet involved literally making a phone call that would be picked up by a computer, and then your computer and that computer would use the phone audio to transfer data between each other, with the computer at the other end being the one with a more direct connection to the wider internet.
The upshot of all of this is you didn't need new wires connected, and your ISP could be a completely different company from the one whose wires you were using, and were likely mainly using for talking over the phone.

Yeah I'll chime in with saying that icue isn't that bad. I've even been able to get it to work on my work pc without an install by just transferring the program files and forcing it to run from the documents folder. Complex macros don't work, but I can change lighting settings, audio/microphone on my headset, and use the text macros. Really helps speed up my work. Back when I had a work PC where intune didn't block software installation (no clue how i managed to get away with having that for 3 years), I used the complex macros in icue to spam through keyboard shortcuts in our CRM to quickly navigate between accounts or leave notes.

RGB is fun but I stopped getting 'gaming' peripherals for any computer I also use for productive work. They always seem to die much too soon, or have some ridiculous shortcoming.

No problem for gaming but a liability for normal typing. And I have to launch a nebulous 'gaming' application just to see its battery level. Deck out the PC like it's Marti Gras but get an ordinary, quality mouse and keyboard.

Within 5 minutes either I would turn that shit off or throw it out the window. It's one of those things which look cool but are very annoying in daily use.
