   My first email was a juno address, around 1997. They put floppies containing a little dialer prog in the back of magazines and you could get a free dialup email account.

   Juno is still around, and still offering 10 hours per month free dialup internet access. i was thinking about how fun it would be to post to mastodon from my free dialup account. but i dont have modem. or a phone line.

   you can still buy modems! US Robotics markets them as super secure backup connections. check this out!
