I have not used an isp provided email for over 10yrs. I have never had to tell contacts to start using a new email. I bought an address in 1997(yep, used to pay for them thangs) from a now defunct company, but my pop service was grandfathered into the new owners services. But Gmail has been such an innovator of webmail that I have it check all my other services. -- I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc) AND I RUN LINUX!!! Linux is like ice cream. It comes in many flavors and everyone has their favorite, but we all get the same smile regardless of which we choose to scoop. Norman Ford - "Never try to tell everything you know.
