But when I first created wambooli.com my ISP gave me only one e-mail address to use for that domain. Because my ISP had already given me dgookin as my ISP e-mail account, that had to be my e-mail account at wambooli as well. Yes, I know that didn't need to be the case. But this was 1996 and no one knew any better. By the way "dang@wambooli.com" does not work, so don't try it! :) Not now.

I could never get it. Sometimes it was assigned to someone else, but often it wasn't allowed as it was either too short or considered offensive. So I got stuck on <code>dgookin</code> instead.

I kid you not. That was in about 1998ish I think. How easy is it to get your first name @ yahoo.com now? Pretty much impossible. I didn't check it for a couple months and they deleted it, so I lost it.... My first e-mail address was jamon@yahoo.com. I kid you not. That was in about 1998ish I think.

It was only a matter of years ago. It was dcarriso@suttownps.sa.edu.au -- now a defunct address. It was an old system that ran on some Dingo Mail platform - eck! It was ugly, slow and painful to use. Then it got upgraded to a Blackboard based system with a dressed-up verson of Squirrel Mail, which was less painful to use, but more prone to crashing and errors and slowness. Eck! Worse than slow broadband it was (i.e. 64k broadband) Re: your question: Yes, I can. It was only a matter of years ago. It was dcarriso@suttownps.sa.edu.au — now a defunct address.
