What Your E-mail Address Says…

Have you ever wonder what your email address says about your computer skill? I think you better read this:

own domain
ex. somedood.@theoatmeal.com
• good chance of being skilled and capable
• maybe even a programmer or designer

@gmail.com
• most likely knows their way around a computer
• when the internet stops working, actually tries
rebooting the router before calling a family member for help

@hotmail.com
• uses a compaq
• still has issues with spyware
• still thinks that Myspace is hip

@yahoo.com
• usually types in all capslock
• sends you email chain letters saying that Bill Gates will eat your hard drive unless you forward this message to everyone you know

@aol.com
• before asking for computer help, still thinks it’s funny to say “I’m computer illiterate LOL”
• calls you on the phone to tell you about a neat website they’ve discovered, then says into the receiver:
“Okay, go to…
h….t….t…p…colon…slash…slash…
w….w…..w….w…dot….”
• prints out emails and brings them over to your house

Well, what do you think? Is it true or not? Does it apply to you or not?
