Talking with a woman today in her mid-20s and helping her turn off odious conversation view in email:

Me: Yeah, I don’t like conversation view either. It just makes where or when anything occurs so confusing. I guess it’s because I started using email in 1986 and just will never get used to it.

Her: Don’t you mean 1996?

Me: No, 1986. It was associated with a BBS, but it was email. Of course back then I only got like five emails a year.

Her: I didn’t even know they had email in 1986!

Email was almost pointless then as hardly anyone actually had an email address in those dark days, but it was still cool. Hey, at least she hates conversation view too, as is only right and proper. Turns out that not all of the younger cohort is lost. 😉
