First ever email ...... when ?
« on: 31 March 2017, 20:11:02 »
Ok, so my question is when did you get onto an email system, whether home or work related ...

I'll start, it was March 1985, IBM mainframe based system for Vauxhall motors in Luton. Proper "own" internet connected email was via BT internet sometime in 1994 .......

If I were you, I'd do what I always have done, read the thread title and just post a reply without even bothering to understand what the thread is actually about. ;D

In that case absolutely no idea. Some time in the seventies perhaps. ;)

Thanks for the heads up, I think the larger Tesco stores are going up-market a bit.
tried some of their ready meals, just can`t find that strong horsey taste now  :(
several other bargains to be had too, made in China but reasonable quality
a set of Tesco swivel-head ratchet spanners for £12 sizes 8,10,11,13,14,17 mm

Where was we, oh yer Freeserve 56k dial-up with their email tag about 1999 ;D more reliable than my 50mb virgin rip-off currently running at 2.7 mb download speed :P
