A girlfriend preordered the first iPhone, and when she sent me an email, I noticed the default signature, "Sent from my iPhone."
I have since set my sig for email and anything else that allows it to "Sent via RFC1149" with a link the actual RFC.
I've gotten a few chuckles over the years.
Is that the entire packet shown in the picture frame? So the price is 1k+ USD for the frame? Because anyone can type that and get it printed/framed for considerably less. What am I missing?
We're now considering 2001 "the early internet community"? Some people must still have whiplash from how quickly things changed. Shopping malls were already feeling the impact of ecommerce by this point.
Also, in hindsight, the 2000s wasn't really all that collaborative compared to now.
Of the current living population, roughly more than a third were born after 2001. (Are less than 25 years old).
So the average firstborn is now being born to a mother who has no memory of 2001, and a third of the population didn't yet exist.
Seems fair to characterize the time in a historical way.
