Our company is about to lockdown workstations from using PST (offline storage) files for e-mail — block them from being created or read by our Exchange setup. So anything we want to save, we need to pull down to individual message files.
Which has me looking at stuff dating back to ’94-95, which is when the company really started using e-mail (or I did) and we had Internet access and I moved to Denver and started up a new job function here and I got married and …
A few random thoughts …
- Gads, I was a romantic devil. Or, at least, I’m glad I have all those romantic e-mails I exchanged with Margie while I was here and she was back there. Oh, you poor text-messaging devils and your lack of paper trail.
- Wow. Requests for “getting on the Internet” and the special software that had to be installed on PCs (one package to get them an IP address, the other — Netscape!).
- Lots of names I’d forgotten. Lots of events, too, personal and professional.
