AOL? Eww.
I finally got my mom off of CompuServe. It only took 20 years. She's still skeptical of GMail.
And I'm still hearing how much she hates every e-mail client other than Lotus Notes.

I walked my baby past this
I walked my baby past this spot yesterday about 3pm and some homeless junkie guy was walking towards us. It made me walk into the street with the stroller. Something about the guy freaked me out just enough, I normally don't avoid anyone like that. Maybe it was the same guy, I wish they had a pic of him posted.

There's another email client
There's another email client aside from Lotus Notes?
I had almost forgotten about CompuServe. I usually tell folks I got my first email address in 1983 in my freshman year in college, but I forget about the CompuServe account I had before that - probably because I had to share it with my dad who was paying the bill, and because it was so expensive that we almost never used it.
