Deleteguestbd6f99> Thank you for your comments. I am aware that email was around long before 1990. But for most of that time it was the preserve of nerds, academics & hobbyists. This slideshow is concerned with the popular uptake of email - hence the reference to AOL & Compuserve. Email history is not the main focus of this presentation.

'e-mail software needs to be understood as a database application' - Cryptic. Care to expand, my geeky guest?

the author of the slideshow seems to have a dim knowledge of e-mail history.

the slideshow seems to think e-mail started in the early 90’s. i have exchanged e-mail since 1979.

the slideshow indicates early e-mail accounts were limited to institutions, AOL and Compuserve. it doesn’t mention there were more than 80,000 Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) in the USA during the early 90’s that provided e-mail accounts used by a number of networks, including the Internet.

a BBS i started in 1990 provided Internet e-mail service beginning in 1993.

e-mail software needs to be understood as a database application. it also needs to be advanced/evolved as such...

What an outstanding presentation...I was taken on a ride

I definately agree that we can use more contextual tools rather than email

Instead of sending and email....
