If Wikipedia is correct it didn't launch until the middle of 1996 but you must have been a pretty early adopter anyway. I'm comparatively new against that in that I must have signed up in 98 or possibly just before because it was done in a computing lesson at school.

And? As far as I understand .com isn't country specific (although a lot of people seen to think it is.) which is one reason people would prefer it over .co.uk.

I have .com on my main Hotmail & Gmail acc :cool:

, just the cool kids have .com, and mac's of or course.

I love the fact that .tv is actually the domain of some tiny country in the Pacific and their sole economic income is through the licensing of their .tv franchise.

I'm a .com on hotmail and [email protected]

I've got [email protected] (which also works as [email protected] and the googlemail equivalents)

And an old .com Hotmail address that has suddenly started to receive spam, despite me not handing it out in the last year :/

I know. The Hotmail interface is vile. I don't know why anyone would choose it over a Gmail one...

Because they've had their Hotmail address for over 10 years and don't really want to change it?

I don't use gmail either. I don't think the interface is that great on gmail.
