My First Ever Email - To Bill Gates Circa 1992 
  All this news about Bill's movements along with other stuff recently has reminded me very much of the first email I ever sent.
I was the only person I knew who had ever even heard of the internet. I had no one else to try sending one to. I very much doubt it was ever read - but it didn't bounce. And back then, well before inbox-overwhelming spam, you'd have known if it did ;)
Here it is/was: [Circa 1992 : Bristol UK]
To Bill Gates:
| | [... a short sentence about myself...] |
| | Twenty years ago people would have laughed if you told them that it will be possible to earn a living sat at a desk in front of a screen, tapping away at plastic buttons, moving a device called a mouse around on a soft pad. |
| | IN TWENTY YEARS TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EARN A LIVING SAT AT HOME, WEARING SPECIAL GLASSES AND GLOVES, CLICKING YOUR FINGERS WHILE WAVING YOUR ARMS AROUND IN THE AIR. |
| | MICROSOFT SPACE. MICROSOFT ROOMS. |
| | Close the Windows, the room's getting cold. |
