No thought was given to how this might affect the thousands of professionals who travel from home to work with a notebook computer. I was kicked from customer representative to customer representative all who listened politely to why this move was utter stupidity and didn't solve any of the problems they claimed it would. Every one explained that all I had to do was change my email account so that mail was sent through their server instead of the remote server. And none could comprehend how this 'fix' then prevented me from sending mail when I was at work or school. I concluded that the company is run by morons who discourage anyone from thinking and found a local service who actually hires people capable of thinking and actually encourages them to do so. And let's not even consider the huge billing mistakes Earthlink seemed to make at least three times a year. I put them in the same category as AOL and Dell -> avoid at all costs. david ======================================================================== Say you were standing with one foot in the oven and one foot in an ice bucket.
