Hotmail????? Really?

Not trying to bug, but that's almost like saying, I still have my same AOL email.

Yep. Hotmail. Tied to my MS account only, and with 2 factor authentication.

One of most secure e-mail accounts.

Ummm, I still have my original hotmail account from when I first started beta testing back in 1985 or so. I've pretty much used it exclusively as my Microsoft Account for Windows.xxx.

That's all I've ever used my Hotmail account for - MS/Windows stuff.

Yeah, Hotmail.com, what's wrong with it ? It's probably even older than that. Hotmail from Office 2013 also works.

Just poking fun with ya. Not trying to be offensive. I guess it's like someone still driving a 1950's Edsel Ranger. Yeah, it'll get ya from point a to point b, but it's not as safe, economical or efficient as my Bimmer!
I use Gmail for the ability to solidify alllllll of my Google crap. And for important stuff, I use Protonmail.

So what's wrong with 1950's Edsel Ranger ? Probably has great value by now. I'd love to have one.

As your daily driver???? I could write a dissertation on it. But the cost of gas alone would be reason enough. But then there's safety, maintenance and ergonomics.
I'd love to have one for a collectors item, but wouldn't drive it as my lone car.

My last vehicle in Canada was a 1966 Mercury pickup with 351 4bbl Cleveland boosted to 400HP.

I wouldn't receive my pension if not for snail-mail.

With one minor caveat. The mail person does have to have the ability to actually put your mail in the correct mailbox where you live, and you hope some "passerby" doesn't just help themselves. And to put any package somewhere near the porch, not in the middle of the driveway in the rain. On a scale of 1 - 10, the mail service around here is hovering at around -5. Hope it's better in Iceland.
