Time is running out to make the transition to Comcast High-Speed Internet. Take a couple of minutes to make the necessary changes now. If you have already downloaded the Transition Wizard, the only thing you need to do is restart your computer on or after June 30. >>>>>> (my emphasis) If you do not choose to use our easy Transition Wizard by June 30, 2003, you will not be able to take advantage of attbi.com e-mail forwarding - but you will still have high-speed Internet access. If you have not already made the transition, simply: I believe from this that attbi email forwarding will not be available if the transition wizard is not used....
