Curious if these old email addresses that became a tech embarrassment will see a rebound in cachet. "Ooh, a résumé with @compuserve.com. This guy was there at the beginning."


I’d love to have my short compuserve.com email back. I’d even be prepared to pay a modest amount for it.

Nothing embarrassing about it, if you wanted to be online (particularly on the road internationally) that was the way. Compuserve had dial-up modems everywhere :-)


I doubt many people under 40 know what Compuserve is/was.


My initial reaction to your comment was a smug "Hah! I know what CompuServe was!" followed by the realization that I'v been over 40 for a couple of years now.
