🐈 By May 2001, Garfield’s Gmail was replaced by a free service at @e-garfield․com via Everyone․net. Google didn’t adopt the Gmail name until April 2004 — and there’s no evidence they got the idea or name from Garfield․com. But it's safe to say Garfield beat them to the inbox.

Screenshot of a May 16, 2001, Wayback Machine capture of the webpage gmail.garfield.com. The page announces a change to Garfield.com’s free email service, now offered through Everyone.net, with twice the storage and personalized addresses ending in “@e-garfield.com.” It notes that users under 13 cannot register due to government regulations and suggests Hotmail or Yahoo as alternatives. A bold message invites users age 13 or over to click to register for their new free Garfield email account, followed by a link that says “Click here.” The interface shows the Wayback Machine navigation bar at the top, with the year 2001 highlighted.

"Geocities [which launched in November 1994] has a fascinating history. A roaring beginning, a dramatic climax, the most tragic of endings, and just a sprinkle of hope right at the end."

An Ode to Geocities - The History of the Web
Geocities is likely a site you've heard of. It may even have been a site that you used. It's origin, and the movement it later inspired, is an incredible story of self-expression and serendipity.

On this day in 1980, the ARPANET, the ancestor of the modern Internet, crashed for the first time. A faulty IMP (early router) brought the network down for hours. The solution? The first-ever network reboot. #VintageComputing #InternetHistory #ARPANET #RetroTech #VintageComputer
Image titled “Milestone Monday – October 27th, 1980.” The design has a dark starry background with a stylized sunrise shape at the bottom. At the top, bold yellow text reads: Milestone Monday – October 27th, 1980 On the left is a photo of an Interface Message Processor (IMP) — a beige rack-mounted device with rows of switches and indicator lights. The label on the front reads “INTERFACE MESSAGE PROCESSOR.” A caption below the photo reads: “FastLizard4, CC BY-SA 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interface_Message_Processor_Front_Panel.jpg.”
