RE: TOP THAT: Antique Email
Martinek, Carla
I certainly had it in in '94, because I remember the discussions with my fiancé as to which AOL account we'd keep after the wedding -- I won, because mine had been around longer, and I had used my email for business purposes and job hunting.
Still have the same account and email addresses, so it's at least 14 years old. Almost dropped it a few years ago, but my husband still liked to use it at times. Now we keep it because of the kids and it's good parental controls.

1. I knew Bill Haley personally (he was a friend of my grandfather) and
have almost all of his records autographed.
2. I practiced "duck and cover" in elementary school and jr. high school.
3. I listened to Gunsmoke and the Lone Ranger on the radio, since we didn't
get a TV set until 1956, the same year my youngest sister was born.
4. My first calculator cost me almost $90 and could only add, subtract,
multiply, divide, and do square roots.
5. My first computer was a Commodore 64.
And last, but not least. . .
6. I remember watching Robin Roberts, Curt Simmons and Richie Ashburn play
for the Phillys.
Have a good weekend, y'all.

computer was a Commodore 64.
MY first computer was a Commodore Vic 20, named for its 20 kilobytes of
memory. It had a tape drive and hooked up to a television. My kids learned
a lot about programming from it, because you had to type games into the
computer whenever you wanted to play them.
Unfortunately, the Vic 20 had a design flaw. The power cord inlet and the
video outlet were identical. Guess what happens when an 8-year-old dyslexic
child gets confused? At least there weren't flames, like when he was a
teenager and burned out my hard drive with a screwdriver.

available. He also bought an expansion interface for it, which was
approximately the size of a VCR and added a whopping 4k of additional
memory. I think my analog watch has more memory than that computer did.
I'll always have a fond memory of Adventure on the TRS-80, though. I somehow

32 and *his* first computer was a Commodore 64"
But I was an adult when I got that Commodore 64, and had, by then, completed
two tours of duty in Germany and two tours of duty in Vietnam. ;^))
And Bill Haley is, in my opinion, one of the two godfathers of rock and
roll. He and Chuck Berry lit the first candle of the future of music.

were satisfied to be told they had killed something as with text-based games
and those who needed to see it blow up. I rocked at Meteors! Bam! Sizzle!
Bing! Somewhere around here I have a photo of my cat lying across the
keyboard of my RS TRS-80 -- all I needed were the arrow keys ... and
something else to shoot with ... can't remember what and besides the key
labels wore off after a month or so.

I do remember the radio series', and I remember watching the
Republican convention on TV when Eisenhower was nominated. And of
course, Howdy Doody.
qui...@airmail.net
when it first showed up, probably around 1989 or so. I remember I was
excited about Prodigy, and got an account when they started. Then
because I was only on a 300 Baud modem and the Prodigy graphics were
so abysmal, AOL's graphic interface was light years ahead of them, I
dropped the Prodigy account. I didn't like waiting for 3 minutes
while it painted one line of the screen graphic at a time.
Then in 1993 or 1994, I got an account with a local ISP. An all text
interface, and I selected emacs as my online text processor. Yeah, it
got better real fast after that. Switched to a larger, more stable
ISP a year later, and am still with that one. Funny thing was, I
didn't use email too much until the WWW got really going.

Are you sure, Scott? I thought the ticket was Eisenhower-Nixon.
