Elwood Edwards, the voice behind the iconic 'You've Got Mail,' passed away at age 74 after a long illness, leaving a lasting legacy in digital communication.
Edwards described how he became the voice of AOL after his wife, who worked there, volunteered him for a project that turned into a cultural phenomenon.
'In 1989, I recorded 'You've Got Mail' on a cassette for just $200, initially as a test. It caught on like wildfire in the mid-90s.'
Even after his passing, Edwards' voice remains a nostalgic symbol for millions who remember the early days of the internet and AOL.
