Subject: The earliest forms of E-mail
Written By: Carl on 02/01/06 at 9:37 am
I'm sure there are many computer geeks here from the 80s, back when there was no microsoft, fancy graphics, etc. just the dark screens with green type. Didn't some of the old Paradox database progrmas have something where you could send a msg to someone and it would pop on the screen for a few, sort of like IM too. Can anyone else trace the roots of email or the web to this time period or before?

Don't know about Internet usage back then, since at the time only limited university/companies/military really used it, but we had email on various BBSs back in the mid-80s (I started messing around on BBSs around 1985).
