calscot 0 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 BTW by 2000, when Rosenthal left, internet usage in the UK was apparently about 27% which, when you remove kids and old people (for obvious reasons), is about every other, working adult. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 In 96 I worked for Scottish mutual assurance and we still had no email as such. We had an internal system and intranet of sorts but we received everything by phone and post. Yeah, sounds about right. I qualified as an accountant in 97 and my 1st post-qualified job was Scottish Equitable in September 1997 - we had Lotus Notes which, at the time, was the more popular email product between that and Outlook.... but we definitely had email in 1997, though it wasn't widely used. I remember using the internet in 1995 though - remember the old modems where they made that awful sound as it connected to the internet 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I can remember dial up. Not sure when I had that. It was brutal. This is way off topic but it's a fun topic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
