Anybody else still remember their first e-mail address? What domain did it have?

I picked mine from this Latin American web portal "StarMedia" which apparently still exists? I thought it sounded cool 😅 At least compared to the alternatives. I was NOT going to have something ending in bloody "Hotmail" or worse, "Yahoo."

Back then I used the screen name "Artemis" thinking it sounded like the male version of the Greek hunter goddess (we call her "Artemisa") not knowing it was also female. 🤭

Yes, it was at yahoo.co.uk. In my defence, it was the early 1990s.

I then transitioned to anonymous.to -- and used my real name. Because nobody would ever think I'd do that, right? Can't possibly be me! Yes, that was my logic. I was a teenager.
