Novelty E-mail Addresses

There was a time when e-mail was new to all of us. If you are of my generation then the idea of your own personal e-mail address probably came at a time when the username part of the e-mail address was an opportunity for self-expression. As we’ve aged, most of us have outgrown [...]
