Elwood was a camera operator and jack of all trades at WKYC TV channel 3 in Cleveland, Ohio and a fanatic at catching typos.

A pretty anonymous guy. Except for one thing.

Years ago, he was paid $200 to record a few phrases.

"You've got mail!"

He was the voice of AOL's recorded phrases.

A little piece of computer trivia and history has left the planet.

If you scroll down the page, he appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and did several phrases for them.
