Now I kind of want a CIS email address just to be ironic, but it needs to be in the original PDP/TOPS format 12345,123.
Am I remembering it correctly? It was TOPS, right?
- jghn 3y agoI’m now questioning how well I remember my id but but yes am pretty sure it was 5,4 structure
- lproven 3y agoIt is more specific than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompuServe#User_IDs_and_e-mail_addresses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompuServe#User_IDs_and_e-mail... Octal digits, starting with a 7: `7xxxx,xxx`. My work address was 70006,101.
- jghn 3y agoAh right. I had seen that PDP legacy aspect before but totally forgot. I had a 75300 series account via my dad's work which for the most part was amazing as it was a sysop level account (and free!). The one downside to teenage me was that you couldn't access any of the extra cost bits, like most of the games.
