I.e. You'll be keeping it well into the 21. century.

Actually, it's getting better.  New email is going out and coming back
to me in a relatively decent amount of time.  I'm still getting messages
that were sent to me one or two or three days ago; I imagine there's
quite a backlog.  I think everything will be okay by next week.

Having had connections within the Sprynet community (I used to work for
Dave Pool, who started SpryNet), I've heard plenty of horror stories from
past and present employees at SpryNet.  Since Compuserve bought 'em, the
company (which was never intended to be huge) got run into the ground.
They've expanded far faster than their equipment allows, and than they
hvae the RESOURCES to keep up with.  I'm afraid the assessment that your
temp e-mail may be well into the 21st century might not be too far off.
