__TIMELINE OF IMPORTANT EVENTS__

1. Left, Sarah. "Email Timeline." __Guardian.__. 03 13 2002. 21 Dec 2007 [|guardian link] This timeline is the most helpful source i have come across. It gives me the most important events in the development of email and is in words that are easy to understand.

2. Crocker, Dave. "Email History, How Email Was Made." __Email__. 2007. Living Internet. 19 Dec 2007  This site goes in depth about each version of email created. It is helpful, but doesn't highlight what's important and what's not.

3. Peter, Ian. "History Of Email." __Ian Peter's History of Email__. 2004. 21 Dec 2007 

This website, although was not organized in the form of a timeline, was chronically organized. It went into depth about the reasoning behind the creation of each new development, and provided details about each development that helped me understand them.

4. Thompson, Bob. "Wizards, Talking Headers." __History Of Email__. 4 08 1996. 21 Dec 2007 <[|http://www.olografix.org/gubi/estate/libri/wizards/email.html>.] [|History Of Email] Although this site does not provide a lot of information about different developments and applications involving how email progresses, the site provides the reader with a backround story aobut why email was created in the first form.

5. Gaudin, Sharon. "A Conversation with the Inventor Of Email." __Datamation__. 16 7 20002. 21 Dec 2007  Although I did not use this website in my timeline, I did gain a better understanding for email, the way it works, and the reasoning behind its creation through reading this interview with Ray Tomilson.[|H@PPY BITHDAY TO YOU]

10. Ozzie, Ray. "Ray Ozzie." __Windows Live Blogs__. April 01. Web Networks, Inc.. 13 Jan 2008 <[|http://rayozzie.spaces.live.com/>.] This source is great for finding out more about the thoughts that went through Ray Ozzie's head about technology developing. He was the creator of Lotus Notes. Although it is somewhat difficult to understand due to technological terms that I'm not familiar with, I can understand the basic process of thought.
