Wil Wheaton has a piece he wrote about the 10th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. I remember reading the news on the 'net, just having gotten a computer and gotten online. Thing is, I'm spacing on what service I was on back then. I never went to AOHell, and it was before Compuserve. If I think of it, I'll post an update.
Update: it was Prodigy. Switched to Compuserve shortly after that, then went with a net provider out of Indianapolis, then via my local phone company. No more long distance charges for going online, Yay!
