I have also had my demon address since 1993. I was at uni and wanted to keep in touch with my girlfriend after we left Uni and got jobs, no longer having access to our university mailboxes on JANET,
I was connecting from my Amiga B2000 using a US Robotics 33.6 modem.. The excited minutes I used to spend waiting for the SMTP client (forget the name of it) to download messages!
At Uni we just used VT220 green screens connected to the university VAX cluster.. connecting with a command line based Unix client.. ah memory lane .. those were the early internet days .. when Mosaic was the only web browser and there were only a handful of sites anyway .. it was all email, usenet groups and FTP..
