What was your first e-mail address?
I'll never forget mine. I got it as a freshman at the University at Buffalo in 1992.
v115maec@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu Ah, the ol' VAX systems. Back when there was only about 4000 people on IRC globally at any given time and they were all college students. -Mikey |

I don't remember - it was with Compuserve back when numbers were assigned, and it wasn't until about 6 months after I signed up that you were allowed to change it to whatever you wanted.

Another one for hotmail, and I could be one of the few people that still have their original account active - but now it's one of 4 email addresses to keep everything nice and organized.

Compuserve address when it was numbers only... and an AOL address at the very beginning, my email address was my first name- -with no numbers at all...

I had one of those three letter, two number, and one more letter addresses at prodigy.com. Something in the form of abcd12e@prodigy.com, but I can't remember my specific address.
Back in 1991 or '92 I think. I was always envious of the AOL people who got to choose their address, whereas we prodigy people were assigned ours. In the long run, however, I was happy to see that AOL turned out to be a much crappier ISP.

The address pointed to a MajorBBS chat board with the "Internet Upgrade." Essentially it let us telnet out, get email, and go into chatrooms with other MBBS Internet-enabled boards. And yeah, I was like 14 heh. |

My highschool had a mainframe, so I must have had a username back in 1986. Plus I had one in college, would have been somethingorother@eniac.upenn.edu. Can't remember what they were. I really didn't use email at the time.
