My first experience with email was the summer of 1984 on the VAX/VMS systems at IIT at a summer institute. That was when I created my first e-zine called Stuff which was mostly gossip about the staff and my fellow high school students. What I remember more than anything else was that I had discovered that putting ^H at the beginning of a line would make the letters of that line print at double height if you printed the file on the line printer.
