Well, I'm not old and I had one for years.

I used to be <various>!waggen!escape!shendrix, most of the time odu! 
waggen!escape!shendrix.

In fact, I used UUCP until around 1999, when I finally moved to that

Honestly, it nearly doubled my bandwidth needs, because UUCP is far  
more efficient than any of the TCP stuff for news and mail.
