BS: Email Time Capsule

Here's something pretty far fetched: You can email yourself a delayed message, a time capsule if you will. I suppose the assumption is that you'll still have access to the same email server some years hence. I wonder what the odds are of that! Anyway, I think it is kind of a cool idea.

What a creative way of collecting email addresses, by taking advantage of our desire for any semblance or permanence!

I would agree except that I don't think Forbes needs to do that. At least it looks like a Forbes promotion.

What a kewl idea. I've already had fun going through my archived emails on the old computer, seeing what I said 8-10 years ago. Some esp. precious ones to and from my mom before she passed.

Thanks, Allan, for letting us know about this.

Used to go to a church which would have you write out your goals for the year & then they'd mail your list back to you at the end of the year for you to see how you did. I can't even imagine how off our lists might be after 10 years.
