It's not silly.
There's something just embarrasing about using Hotmail or AOL to me. I stumbled across this snip-it from Paul Rudd in an interview when asked about why it seems so many celebs (not that I care but that was the question posed) use AOL?
“I like AOL because it’s so embarrassing,” Rudd explains. “People look at you as if you’re a fossil. Which you are. But I enjoy that embarrassment. I like being on the outside. Having an AOL address is like wearing Ocean Pacific shorts. It’s so uncool that it’s cool.”
It'd be like still using Netscape as your browser if it still existed.
