My hotmail accounts was made in 1997. I still use it, but its full of spam. I think I have 1100 unread e-mails lol.

^

Dos was the best, no bullshit with that. Doesn't hide files, prevent you from deleting files or ask you 10 freaking times are you sure you want to do this??
Ofcoarse I f*cked up the computers around the house on many occasion, but this only taught me to fix them and today I've never not been able to fix a pc software issue.

Crap, can't find my original account info. Oldest working hotmail is 2001. Lost so much when my 20yr old HD finally died. All my old accounts and internet favorites are gone. Glad ][ got my pirch98 on a cd somewhere,.... if it still works.

for hotmail accounts, log into your hotmail account, then go to this page, it will tell you when you registered.

http://account.live.com/

I think it lied, though, it says mine was in 1999, I know I let my account slip for a few years, maybe it counted my re-registration date?

I see what I did, my first email was Yahoo, sorry.

yahoo is a wee bit better quality then aol, imho....

does aol still exist? and do they like have customers and stuff?

oh and how many cd roms are out there because of aol?

Hell, I had a collection of aol floppies.

Same though, yahoo since 1998 at the latest. Get an insane amount of spam though.

My first modem was 150 baud acoustic coupled. Used it to dial into the PDP8 at work. Got a 300 baud Hayes modem a bit later and started dialing into BBS systems. The good old days of green screen text coming up 1 character at a time.
