Hotmail runs on 1.21 gigawatts

When I send an email to someone with a Hotmail address, I feel like I am sending an email to 1999. I have to resist the urge to tip them off about things like smartphones and the oncoming decline of Ricky Martin’s career.

    Dude, I was talking to some people at Essex street market yesterday and one of them had an @lycos.com address! I called her on it and she said that the two muffin guys in the market both had @webtv.com addresses.

    That means that in 1996 they bought a ugly set top box that plugged into their TV just to do email from the couch….

    And they may still be using it!

    I work for a company that sends advertising emails (not the wiener enlargement ones – legit emails)…anyway, you’d be surprised how many people have juno.com email addresses…

    On a side note, I have a hotmail address…and I’m offended.

    I know, I know. I feel so “you kids and your jingly-jangly music!” about my hotmail address. For some reason the idea of changing it makes me tired. Even though having it makes be tired, too.

    With shame I have to admit that next to my gmail address, I still check my hotmail account on a daily basis. Hauling every newsletter, membership, contact etc over to my gmail just seems like so much work.

    I love how they named it hotmail and then thought making your inbox a cool blue was a good idea.

    Yeah, those people with hotmail are lame.
    We should go beat them up. Because those people are lame.
    Those people that are not me… are lame…
