According to the internet, this ad's been around between '77 and '81 and "it wasn't running (...) in mainstream consumer magazines; this ad was targeted at computer enthusiasts and run in computer news magazines like Computerworld and Datamation! The general public wouldn't become aware of e-mail until the '90s."
