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. 🤭

I have absolutely no clue. I've had so many over the years and I kept changing my screenname so I feel like I made new ones constantly.

I googled a bit and found a couple of domains I remember having, either one might've been the first. One was called luukku.com and it was one of the first free email domains here anyone could sign up for. The other was jippii.fi, "jippii" being the equivalent of "yahoo" in Finnish 😄

But yeah, can't remember any of the names I used.
