text: can someone explain what email was like when it was first created? when was it?   if i could imagine, i would say like the drums in africa as they beat the drums that could be heard from village to village each village taking it farther and farther to its destination..sometimes the enemy would hear it,(hackers). progress called computers have the same problems (hackers) life repeats itself, is we only really looked in a place called the third eye, or vision, for there is nothing new  under the sun....most times we dont catch on till we are nearing what we call the end of life....which could start in our 50's unless remain a fool all of our life
