Meet the You've Got Mail man

[47of74]

Saw this today;

If you logged onto the internet circa 1997, chances are you heard this guy, Elwood Edwards, greet you with a warm “Welcome! You’ve got mail.” Edwards scored his place in internet history back in 1989.

Of course I switched the new mail notice to a Homer Simpson D'oh.

1. Whereas (like now) I just shut all such sounds off.

It's bad enough when you minimize a program and do something else while it 'works' only for it to pop up front and center while you're typing something else and the next thing you know you've just deleted what you had it doing due to "keyboard commands"
