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. 🤭

First email was definitely on AOL because that's... just how we accessed the internet at the time. I pretty much only used it to sign up to Neopets since I was pretty young at the time. I still actually use the same handle for my email as I did back then, just on gmail rather than AOL.
