oh, the ripping is underway.
Dec. 3rd, 2004 12:05 pmAnyone who still has my valour@mindspring.com email in use for any reason should stop doing so now.
I'm pretty sure I've changed over any accounts of relevance that use it.
Once upon a time, Mindspring was a nice little company that employed many people I knew. Then it was bought out by Earthlink, but still employed many people I knew. Then it started sucking hard, around the time it laid-off almost everyone I knew and outsourced their jobs to India. Correlation is not causation, but I can tell a hawk from a handsaw. I just found out they charged me - retroactively - for broadband access that I never received. Thankfully, I'm no longer in a position where a sudden drop of $50 is check-bouncingly dangerous, but it still pisses me off. So I'm now dropping the email address I've used since 1997. Mindspring is officially dead.
Now to try to figure out how to set up a new, non-Earthlink dial-up account for my mom in Dallas -- explaining this long-distance to a Korean mother whose only experience with computers aside from letting her use my EL dial-up access for Yahoo! mail has been Free Cell.
God, that woman can play some Free Cell.
I know you care and all, but I guess the point was the email notice. um...
Want some Cialis?
