Having been part of CompuServe and AOL, Ive had my michaelb@aol email for 20 years... Apparently now its a retro status symbol. Kyle Buchanan at Vulture: In the new issue of Playboy, Paul Rudd gives Smiths theory further credence: Not only do he and Judd Apatow still have AOL e-mail addresses, but so do Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Sarah Silverman. (Vulture knows from experience that Tilda Swinton and David Arquette do, too, but then, those two have so much in common already.) I like AOL because its so embarrassing, Rudd explains. People look at you as if youre a fossil. Which you are. But I enjoy that embarrassment. I like being on the outside. Having an AOL address is like wearing Ocean Pacific shorts. Its so uncool that its cool. politico/blogs/bensmith/0911/AOL_email_as_status_symbol.html
