Almost 20 years since Gmail and "making people beg for invites" still works tragically well as a launch publicity tactic

mikesheldon,

@tomw I'll never forget where my gmail invite came from though...

@mikesheldon Haha! Yeah I have no emails saved from before 2004 and every email since... probably the same for a lot of people.

I even finally learned the keyboard shortcuts recently.

mikesheldon,

@tomw Heh, I still haven't learnt them, I still insist on enabling IMAP and using a desktop mail client

@mikesheldon I did that for a few years until Thunderbird got super slow... maybe there are better options now though

mikesheldon,

@tomw Yeah, I've tended to bounce back and forth between Thunderbird and Evolution (and for a while mutt-ng, but I'm less of a masochist now)

mikesheldon,

@tomw I have some earlier emails saved in a tarball from when I briefly ran my own mail server. I've never once felt the need to go and look at them though, just can't escape my digital pack rat tendencies

@mikesheldon Hey, good to have! I bet there's something interesting in there. (I don't think I've ever put anything into a tarball, only taken stuff out.)
