@sidereal Reminds me of a time at my first job (1982) when the computer broke down. The young folks then were already desperate, while the older guys brought out the typewriters and kept going.
Email needs to die anyway. Its just now used as a corporate spam box. I dont know what to replace it with, but it needs to go. I dont want to hear about the companies newsletter or that Katie learned what facebook was yesterday.
@legocat As long as there's no viable alternative, e-mail will live. There's always the filter option, and unsubscribe. (I prefer e-mail over any other communication, but I'm Gen Old.)
I might filter because you get talked to if you mark things as spam or unsubscribe where I work. Their reasoning is “People feel like family when they are kept in the loop”.
@legocat Obviously your workplace has its own standards. Most workplaces will have those (different ones). Too bad for you: most mail servers won't stop functioning because of a solar storm which knocks out GPS satellites. 😉
