Comments on: Satire: Recently unearthed e-mail reveals what life was like in 1995

Similarities to present day, but also quaint and sometimes frightening differences. Life sans emoticons.

Cute.

I have well over 100 e-mails from 1990. How much do I hear for
this priceless trove?

It would be nice...

If articles like this would be marked as satire in the RSS feed. This is not something I care to read. If I wanted to read stuff from theonion I would go to theonion. Just my opinion.

Geez

Geez, the title is hint enough. It is satire in itself.

We intended to call it out as satire...

We intended for the RSS headline to go out prefixed with
"Satire:", but for whatever reason, our publishing system didn't
pick that up. We're looking to correct that problem (possibly an
ID-10-T error on my part, possibly a publishing system error) so
it won't happen again. Thanks for the feedback.

Ha, more primitive than you think....

...in 1995, Compuserve email addresses were strings of numbers separated by a period and Prodigy users were an semi-random series of letters and numbers. Of the large online services, the only ones that had 'names' for you email address were America Online and EWorld :)

don't forget

that email from prodigy was prodgy.com not .net That came later when prodigy went the way of the dodo after y2k. .net came when prodigy wanted to be an isp.
