I think many use Hotmail or Yahoo, just because they don\'t want everyone to have their \"real\" email addy and track them down. :-)

That\'s what filters are for, to delete the e-mails from people I don\'t want to hear from. It\'s so much easier than dealing with a crappy e-mail service like Hotmail or Yahoo.

Oh poor, sweet Krtel. Even the spammers aren\'t writing to you. Give me your email and I will drop you a line. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I don\'t want you to feel lonely

I\'ve had that hotmail address for 10 years, btw, so just think how many places would have it by now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Really? Wow.. There weren\'t much people online back in 1993..

<font class=\"post\">

I wasn\'t surfing the net much then, except to check my email. There were LOTS of people with email back then. You\'re just too young to remember it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have a yahoo one too. It is pretty good I agree. Trouble is I also have a hotmail account I rely on but hotmail´s gotten so crap it´s unbelievable. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] CJ

So did anyone ever Gopher??
I think there might even still be a few Gopher sites around.

Back in the day...

I Gopher\'ed. A lot. I started messing with on-line bulletin boards in 1981, on a TRS-80 Model 3 with a 300 baud modem with the phone cups (remember those?)

I had Internet back in the late 80\'s when it was still batch transfers and email was routed with bang paths (anyone remember bang paths?) And LONG before anyone had thought of a \"world wide web\".

I had one of the last public access unix systems in the country - type \"vicstoy\" into a browser. Here is my nixpub listing from 1994:
