Yahoo! Mail welcome message that I received in 2001

I was going through my archives and found this one from 2001 when I had created my first Yahoo! account.

It has been over 20 years since and the way that we use the internet today has transformed radically.

Many of the services listed by Yahoo! in the screenshot here don't exist anymore or I have not used them for very long.

Yahoo! Messenger: This was a widely used instant messaging service during those days but was shut down on July 17, 2018. It was replaced by a new service called Yahoo! Together, but that one was also shut down in 2019.

Yahoo! Companion: This was a browser toolbar plugin which would nicely snap under Internet Explorer's main toolbar. It had direct buttons for search, news, pop-up blocker, e-mail and other Yahoo! services. A screenshot of its look and feel can be found here.

Richard Jacobsen at Associated Press wrote, "The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history."
