yo tengo un Rocketmail!!!!


Mucha gente me pregunta como tengo esa direccion de correo o de donde la saque. Claro no resulta conocido por estos lares del continente, pero si tiene una vieja historia que es interesante conocerla para tambien saber de donde viene yahoo que es mas conocido. Buscando encontre algo que quiero mostrarles y que tome de una de las mas vijeas enciclpedias on line que existen la Wikipedia.
"Rocketmail was one of the first major free webmail services and was a product of Four11. For a brief time, Rocketmail battled with Hotmail for the number one spot among free webmail services. Four11, along with Rocketmail, was bought by Yahoo! in 1997. All Rocketmail accounts were integrated into Yahoo! accounts. Currently the Rocketmail website redirects viewers to the Yahoo! Mail website.
While at the time of the takeover, Rocketmail was very popular, many remaining users flocked away from Rocketmail. Few Rocketmail users completed account transitions to Yahoo! Mail and of those that did, few remain today.
Today, remaining Rocketmail users carry a mark of distinction. Since Yahoo does not allow new registrants to use the Rocketmail domain, remaining users had established their accounts prior to 1998, making them among some of the first internet webmail users.
Current Rocketmail users use "username.rm" as their Yahoo! ID and are able to receive the same services as all Yahoo! users."
