    I bought a gmail invite from a message board. If this sequence of words makes sense to you, you’re old too.

      Shiiit, actually that does make sense. I remember when Gmail gave you 10 invites for new accounts and you didn’t even get them right away. You had to earn them over time. So yeah, invites were regularly sold on the message boards I used to frequent.
