Back in the (late) 90s, for $10 or so, Elwood would record a customized "you've got mail!" message for you. I had him create one for my (now) wife, using her real first name, as well as her nickname. "Elizabeth, you've got mail!"

That's so awesome!
Oh shit
I set "You've got mail" as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)
RIP, your voice was heard by millions.
damn, a lot of people heard your ringtone in such a short amount of time
Man I've had enough bad news for one week :(
Be strong for Elwood.
That’s not who I wanted to see dead at 74.
I really miss the early internet.
I don't miss having to insert a new CD for a few hours of free dialup. Waiting 5 minutes for a picture of tits to load. Fighting with my sister because she picked up the phone when I was in the middle of a fap session in the family computer room with the door wedged shut
I didn't miss that.
But I do miss the content, structure and vastness of the old internet.
Now it has been turned into a strip mall dominated by Facebook, Google, etc. and enshittenification.
He looks exactly like he sounds.
You never really think there’s people behind these things.
What a boss.
So we loose this guy but not putin or 'you're fired' guy. If there hasn't been any sign indicating the absence of a god, I don't know what else you would need.
Meanwhile I'll keep searching for"did trump choke on a pretzel today?" On my favorite search engine that doesn't start with G.
