I have a physical copy of this book. I don’t recommend it.
- Next time someone asks about activitypub and fediverse 
- I still remember the first time I heard the word “email.” Two friends that worked for the city government were discussing an email they recieved from a supervisor. I remember asking, “what the hell is, what do you call it, E-M-A-I-L?” - I remember the comedy in class when Hotmail came out and nobody heard about it yet in school. The uncontrollable hilarity when the teacher announced he had a hot male on the Internet. 
 
- As opposed offline electronic mail. - Look, don’t shame me for mailing my pen pal a kobo with the letter on it 
 
- We all had to learn somehow. Some of the Dummies books were pretty good. 
- I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet. - It’s just 400 pages and they all have one word: don’t 
 
- How old is it? - The internet is over 20 years old and electronic mail is still in use today! - I am not sure if you are joking but the Internet is significantly older than “over 20 years”. - Yeah more like 50+. - The web, almost 40? 
 
- I no longer have email I just use my twitter dot com DMs like a cool guy 😤😤😤 (the IRS is still hunting me for sport) 
 
- Nirvana, Alanis, new oasis album, biggie and Tupac got shot, kinda in there 
 
- Sorry. Need to check my handy style book, but E-Mail is probably most correct usage 
- What about that file transfer and encryption? - We had pgp and ftp in the 90s - I mean from the books cover :-)
