<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 6273283, member: 87200&quot;]Actually we got email at work in 1992 - my first year working at a professional job, though it was a proprietary system called SYSM used only by employees and managers to communicate, fully green screen and run on an AS/400 backbone. It could not be used to contact folks outside the company. That changed in 1994 when I got my first email address, <a href="mailto:sfo1mxa@ups.com">sfo1mxa@ups.com</a>, so finally I could communicate with clients. I remember getting mindspring dial-up in 1995 and dialing in on various phone numbers to get a connection, which sounded like a fax machine connection. I never had Aol, though. When my Dad passed away and I was helping to sort through family affairs in 2019 I found that Aol, despite having offered free email for years through web-based access, was still charging him $22.95 per month for two long-defunct dial-up accounts, which I consider disgraceful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
