Every so often, when I’m swamped by e-mail, I think back to when I first went online with a Compuserve account and a dial-up connection. Those were the days that I thought my Compuserve address would stay with me for life. I only knew one other person with e-mail. I remember being so excited when I got one from him. Sometimes we e-mailed for no other reason than the novelty. Every so often, as I’m trying to clear my inbox before it fills up again, I laugh about the early days. Remember getting excited when you got an e-mail?
