My current account (owning the box it runs on too) goes back 16 years.
I had a uu.net feed through a friend of mine dating back to 84.

Greetings,
I was just making hot cocoa in my MindSpring Internet Services mug and
realized that I've been using that account for a long time. So, I
checked and it shows that I signed up on Jan. 3, 1997. So I've had
that account for 13 years and it's still my primary account.
Of the e-mail addresses you use frequently, how old is the oldest?
I'm betting that several of you have addresses that you've been using
for longer than 13 years. :-)
JMJ, feeling Old School
My first Internet email address was a UUCP bang address
(attctc!radar!eldredge) in 1989. I was a member of the local MacIntosh
user group for a couple of years, even though I didn't own a Mac,
because one of their members was running Unix on his Mac and had UUCP
access to Usenet and email through MTSU. So, I had a shell account on
his system. Once commercial dial-up access became available, I
discontinued the Mac user group membership. I had a succession of
ISP-based email addresses, then registered my own domain,
jfeldredge.com, in 2002, so that I would have an address that wouldn't
change if I subsequently changed ISP's again. So, even though I have
been on the Internet for 21 years, my oldest extant email address is
only 8 years old.
Of course, I used various local bulletin board systems for several years
prior to getting Internet access.
