RMTWeb is born

As many great names do, the creating of the name RMTWeb was a complete fluke.I have a brand new Pentium 200MMX computer a staggeringly huge 2.5Gb hard disk and a 16 speed CD-ROM Drive! In addition this amazing computer has 32Mb of RAM and a large 15" CRT monitor! This super machine also has a modem and allows me to connect to the Internet using AOL!The first account I signed up for gave me a horrid username - rtaylo4382. After enduring this name for the past year and a half I decided that things would have to change. I've been searching and searching for a new screen name, then by accident I decided to try my initials which was denied as it was too short - I was keen on designing my own web pages so I added the word "web" after my initials. The name was accepted and thus my first proper email address - rmtweb@aol.com was born!---Later editors notes--I then set about registering every variant of rmtweb online for the next 5 years or so. Most notably I used  rmtweb@hotmail.com and the blogging site rmtweb.livespaces.com which is where this blog was originally hosted until I moved it on to my own domain.I used my AOL email address and kept the screen name until 1999 when I decided to get my own domain name - rmtweb.co.uk, and "proper" email address (richardtaylor@rmtweb.co.uk). It has been running ever since! As a result of having an email address that has been around for such a long time, I regularly get in excess of 2000 items of spam every day.
