Does anyone remember when the Eudora email program was king?

Wow that brings back memories. Remember Land of devastation on the BBS systems.

Dude, I can't even remember the ones I frequented....(laughing)....

It was a BBS game very popular back then.

Yup. Used to dial into BBS’s with my Commodore 128.
I still remember the name of my favorite one: Herkimer’s Pond.

And yes, I did use Eudora also.

I didn't have the Commodore 128, but I did have a Commodore 64, and I never realized how powerful that computer was until long after I had gotten rid of it.

I don't remember it, but I do recall a space themed game that was played darn near around the clock. All you did was buy artifacts, and weapons to take over other people's colonies. There was nothing fancy about the game, but it was addicting.

I remember Eudora. But I forget what happened that caused me to stop using it. Oh, Thunderbird happened.... that's why.

Edit; omg , BBS's! My x husband and I had one called Surfing With The Alien (single line). My husband now, he said he had one back in the day as well and even had one that he wrote, but I don't recall what he named it.

Those were the pioneer days of online computing. I don’t think I could have imagined back then, paying per minute for dial up, that we’d be where we are today. Fun to think back...

Pioneering days, indeed. Now look how far we’ve come. Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL were the closest things to having a web interface back then....

My father in-law still uses AOL. Pretty sure he is their last and only surviving customer.

I’m surprised they survived after all this time.

 

[calebt]

Yea, I didn't even think AOL was around anymore, Had it for a short time too.

Oh, I most definitely remember Eudora! I can’t be sure, but it might’ve been the client I used when I bought my first home PC in 1997 or thereabouts. Good times!

Really? Now that’s cool!

 

[Sherry_B]

My husband has a Commodore 128, still working (he said last time he checked it was), in the original box. I wanted to take a photo of the box, but there's so much crap in his office that if I go in I may never be found again. Not willing to risk it lol.

 

[Kilwillie]

I still have a Macintosh Plus from 1986 sitting in my closet. Haven't powered it up in years.

Now I refuse to believe that I’m the only person in all of iMore who used this email program on my computers back in the day....(Laughing)

You are not alone. I used it for a few years
