Check your email. (assuming that demunging of your Usenet addy works).

Twenty-five years ago, I was telling my friends that they should
contrive to get email and Usenet.  They all said, "Ewwww, just tooo
geeky!  I hate computers."  One classics scholar even said, "There are
maybe 4 people in the world whose opinions I care about. If I hear
from the every few months, that's good enough."  Now the scholar is
teaching an on-line course and the others say, "What? You don't do
twitter? No facebook, no on-line shopping or banking, no gmail, no
U-tube, no cloud?  Whaddya, some kind of Luddite?"

No, I don't do Google Drive. :-)
