OH COME ON, those damned AOL CDs were still coming around well into the 2000's I think. I was always gobsmacked by that, that they just...kept on keeping on. On the other hand, though, you'd be shocked at how many customers I have that still have, no kidding, AOL, MSN, Hotmail or Yahoo email addies. It always amazes me, what people will do or give up for freebies. I've never had a free email addy in my life and don't plan to start now. Sure, sure, call me paranoid, but I just don't wish to be the product. Spoiler:

How funny! I was just thinking of my old Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80, reading this thread! I have fond memories of that machine. Had it a long time, it was still working when I finally gave it away.

The TRS-80 did work well. I liked it. But eventually it was time to move on.

Heh. I was a total technophobe in my youth. I saw a computer for the first time in 1996, and got one of my own as terribly late as in 2009, at the ripe old age of 37. I just didn't care about that stuff in my twenties or even in my early to mid-thirties, and I was a die-hard paper book fan until 2011. Then I made a 180⁰ turn toward ebooks and never looked back.

I'm pretty sure that "both" was just a brief beta period before it was folded into Outlook. A family member still has an email address with the Hotmail domain.

Yes, they have a Hotmail address, but you cannot get a new Hotmail address. It's Outlook now for new addresses.
