  We all had to learn somehow. Some of the Dummies books were pretty good.

    WinRAR’s password and archive-splitting feature, I assume. 7-Zip was around since 1999 but not as popular.

  I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.

    It’s just 400 pages and they all have one word: don’t

  I still remember the first time I heard the word “email.” Two friends that worked for the city government were discussing an email they recieved from a supervisor. I remember asking, “what the hell is, what do you call it, E-M-A-I-L?”

    I remember the comedy in class when Hotmail came out and nobody heard about it yet in school. The uncontrollable hilarity when the teacher announced he had a hot male on the Internet.

  Sorry. Need to check my handy style book, but E-Mail is probably most correct usage

    The internet is over 20 years old and electronic mail is still in use today!

      I no longer have email I just use my twitter dot com DMs like a cool guy 😤😤😤 (the IRS is still hunting me for sport)

      I am not sure if you are joking but the Internet is significantly older than “over 20 years”.
