My first email was in the university student "BBS" (yes, it was called like that). A Motorola 68010 with a few megs of ram that hosted a little less than 1k students on HP-UX. The only interface available were the VT100 terminals around the campus. Only upper-year students, and only for certain courses, had access to the B/W Sun graphics terminals that were starting to pop up. And those had Mosaic installed...

Then I got a Yahoo account, a few months after it opened. And one of the first Libero.it accounts, the first mass ISP in Italy in late 1998. And finally, Gmail, of course.

Yes, I'm old; I'm a 5-digit slashdot user.
