I have a physical copy of this book. I don’t recommend it.
I still remember the first time I heard the word “email.” Two friends that worked for the city government were discussing an email they recieved from a supervisor. I remember asking, “what the hell is, what do you call it, E-M-A-I-L?”
I remember the comedy in class when Hotmail came out and nobody heard about it yet in school. The uncontrollable hilarity when the teacher announced he had a hot male on the Internet.
We all had to learn somehow. Some of the Dummies books were pretty good.
As opposed offline electronic mail.
Look, don’t shame me for mailing my pen pal a kobo with the letter on it
I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.
It’s just 400 pages and they all have one word: don’t
How old is it?
The internet is over 20 years old and electronic mail is still in use today!
I am not sure if you are joking but the Internet is significantly older than “over 20 years”.
I no longer have email I just use my twitter dot com DMs like a cool guy 😤😤😤 (the IRS is still hunting me for sport)
Nirvana, Alanis, new oasis album, biggie and Tupac got shot, kinda in there

Sorry. Need to check my handy style book, but E-Mail is probably most correct usage
Not anymore
What about that file transfer and encryption?
WinRAR’s password and archive-splitting feature, I assume. 7-Zip was around since 1999 but not as popular.
We had pgp and ftp in the 90s
I mean from the books cover :-)
