If you mean Yahoo, you just go edit your profile on their site to add the new addy, verify it, and switch the delivery of posts from the old e-mail to the new one... You should be able to keep your yahoo id. I'm always switching posts around my multidinous e-mails, depending on my mood :)
That's exactly what I mean. I'm only on 3 lists but at this moment I'm confused enough with all the email addresses and mailing lists and passwords and ... sheesh. How will I remember this stuff when I'm old???
Isn't changing email addresses fun? I have a new one too, but not dsl. Scuse me while I drool! I went in the other day and talked to the broadband company. I told them where I live and they just laughed . . . :'(
I wondered how you've been! I haven't heard from you for so long, but I figured you were probably really busy and I didn't want to bug you.
Busy in a scatterbrained kind of way, with a lot of random unimportant junk going on, plus writing. It was evil of them to laugh at you when you asked about dsl, but I'm not even sure it's been available here for all that long. I'm pretty happy, though I dread trying to cancel AOL after all the horror stories I've been liberally supplied with by people.
The tech guys at one of the local ISPs I was looking into tells me that the reason AOL is so slow (at least around here) is that they have no concept of the actual population distribution out here in the sticks and they wind up expecting a handful of servers to handle several thousand users. I considered the local library's internet hookup, which is only ten dollars a month, but it's run entirely by volunteers so you have to wait for them to get to you eventually. Also, the guy I talked to sounded like he resented the fact that the users actually *use* the system. :/
By the way, I've been talking to people from the big cities in the past couple of days in the course of fixing various technical difficulties with my phone and it reminded me of something that seems normal to me but freaks city people out, so I thought I'd try to freak you out.
Did I ever tell you that there are only five stop lights in Clinton? I *think* (and no, I'm not making this up) that there are seven in Henry County as a whole. Two of them are the blinking four-way lights, of course.
That would actually freak me out except I grew up in a town that had no more than 10,000 people when I left there for college, so about 5 lights (all on the main drag) sounds about right. :) I do miss that peace and quiet.

I have about a dozen work accounts, and almost as much personal ones..
It's a miracle, I tell you.
