Thanks! I could use Yahoo or Juno; I have accounts with both, but
it's just a pain chainging over.

And I guess if I do change, I'll use Tenor's ISP email service through
Outlook Express.

I guess you've done all of the obvious computer stuff like Disk cleanup and
Defrag. Hotmail did have an upgrade but I think you had to sign on for it
but I'm not sure. I have a hotmail account but I seldom use it.

Not on purpose. Sorry about that. I'm using one of my OE accounts for
newsgroups now and it seems to keep track of the threads pretty well. What
are you using to read with?

I use Forte Agent, and with the long threads, all you see is a red >>.

Hard to see for this old man.

I have Noworyta news reader, too, and I could possible switch to that
for Usenet. I think the configuration is clearer that Forte.

I've had a Netscape e-mail address for over 10 years now. AOL
recently shut down the severs & moved it to the AIM interface which is
slower, and takes more clicks to use.

It works just fine with me as I have Outlook configured with the IMAP
setting. only log on about once a month to deleted all my old stuff.

My ZoneAlarm Suite does the same thing just fine. It all goes to my junk
folder, I right click, and selet empty junk folder and it's gone.

Mailwasher lets me monitor a bunch of email accounts on a timed
basis, filter with a whitelist, and even bounce spam back to those who
keep sending it. I am using an older version that was free.

I use the Zone Alarm firewall, but not the entire package.

Not in my budget. I found a chunk of tire tread missing last night.
and it cost me $90 for a new tire today. That's almost 10% of the money
for the whole month.

Oooooooooh, that reminds me when I was in San Diego a few months ago.
I was looking for a parking spot and noticed the last one next to the
curb was available, so I swung in only to be greeted with an open car
door swung open as wide as possible with a woman sitting behind the
steering wheel reading something!

I swerved to the left and crashed into the curb. It gouged my tire,
but so far it's been fine.

'Course, it wasn't her fault, although I think nothing less than a
public flogging would satisfy my desire for justice.

You should have asked her. I'll bet that she would have been more
than happy to flog you anywhere you wanted, as long as the price was
right.
