Wait, don’t dump HotMail yet!

I heard HotMail was making a comeback… of course, I heard it from a Micro$oft PR person.

Seriously, I don’t think there is a ‘definitive’ best Email provider, much of it depends on how YOU use Email. Having said that, I don’t think HotMail makes anyone’s list of top Email providers.

I feel rather behind…. I’ve been using the same Hotmail address for about 8 years. Maybe I should try something new as well.

Oh, smack. Warping young minds … that’s what it’s all about.

hi! thanks for responding to my xanga post. a couple of things. 1) i LOVE gmail. love it. love it. love it. and i’ve had the same e-mail address for a few years now and i still, somehow, get very little spam (maybe 2-3 a day? that’s like nothing from what i used to get using other options!). and secondly, i like your response to the whole questionable book your child would be reading at school. sadly, a girl in my class was taken out of my class for the unit and given a self-study unit. in place of our current text, i chose to have her read a chinese cultural revolution historical fiction that has to do with the detrimental consequences of taking books away from teenagers. muwahahahha.

Lively parties one could throw with that, truth be told.

I’m so archaic I have never used “Mail,” despite being told by several that its a pretty good program… Sad, I know.

HP, I don’t know if Gmail is THAT much better unless you utilize certain features.

For me, that feature is POP mail, which allows me to download my mail into Entourage or Mail. That way I don’t have to check my mail online. (I can still do so if I choose, but I don’t HAVE to.)

Yahoo still charges for this functionality, as far as I know.

it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, except maybe myself… as a Mac user i have known so many PC users who would rather stick their head in the sand and use an inferior product than to make a simple switch, and i found myself wanting to do the same thing by sticking with Yahoo mail even though the postings here were clearly saying Gmail is better.

so its fairly hypocritical of me to refuse to try Gmail on one hand, then turn around and blast PC users for their lack using a mac.

(not that i do that anymore. i used to do it, but i have SO outgrown that. if people choose to use M$ products, its their loss and none of my business, other than the fact that i am forced to use them in the biz world and it hampers my productivity (IMO) on a daily basis.)

oh, and i dont think my comment was particularly humorous. maybe a touch of irony in there? dunno. and believe me, at the ripe old age of, well… a ripe old age… i certainly am not interested in some Mac versus PC argument on a blog site. besides, i have heard that Google is working on an internet based OS that will blow away the PC and the Mac in the future anyhow…

My mother’s Yahoo account has been giving her trouble when she tries to send mail. It sometimes takes a few days for the recipient to actually get the email. It really annoys the quail out of her and is really funny when something goes wrong.

And she has a Mac…
