I have been with my provider since I got connected SBC/Ameritech/ATT, so basically yahoo now, I have had no problems. I have a gmail account hardly used. Am now using windows live/hotmail accounts too, so far so good.

Call me stuck in a rut, but I will not be dragged into a web based email system.  I have set them up for several people and have provided service assistance for several using gmail, yahoo, and others, but I always prefer a good old-fashioned email system with a true email program to any web-based email.  I guess it comes from so many years of using the internet before there was a www.

Oh Boy...Bill remembers BBSing!

Great day when I got a 2400 baud modem!

And remember when 56K became available?
Wow what speed!

You are right GB!  I am on windows 7 now, but I still use dos to write subroutines from time to time.

I remember that, and the memory limits of dos, the 386, the modems that were as big as some of the small laptops today. writing dos programs with subroutines, arrays, variables. Then we went modern, now I know nothing about the programming, email, or bios. Glad you guys are here.
