Looks like a good move to me Billy. Welcome back, and well-wishes for your health.

Thanx Billy Centroids: Finally found an internet access provider that allows me to have use of a n= umber of features that were part of "old AOL" back when AOL was a superlative e-mail service. The end of old AOL dates before September of 2016 but that decidedly was the turning point in AOL's self-destruction. Rackspace is decent enough, it even has a few features that AOL never has had, features that should be useful to me in the future. Still, nothing is like what AOL once was, especially its 9.0 Security Edition which was new in late 2004. I would like to know if anyone can tell me what e-mail access provider is nearly as good; I have done a great deal of looking in recent weeks and from what I have seen nothing comes close. Which is not to say that the "new AOL" is anything but a pile of sh*t; that is exactly what it has become, nearly worthless garbage. But to speak of AOL of yore..... Not that we speak the same language; graphic artists have one lexicon, text -only people have a very different vocabulary. For instance, when a tech person talked to me not long ago about e-mail size I immediately thought of format, the size of the e-mail window, its proportions, how usable it might be to me in terms of mixing text and images. But the lady was not talking about format, she was referring to gigs of memory storage. Sure, gigs of capacity is important, obviously. But it struck me as typical of non-artists to be dismissive of format, as if it doesn't really matter. For an artist -or a e-magazine editor, etc- format comes first in line, however, other factors necessarily are lower on the totem pole. Anyway, Rackspace seems to give me maybe half of what "old AOL" offered its customers and I'm thankful for that much. With some digging and a little luck it may even be possible to stitch together several features from various online programs to assemble something "like" what AOL used to be. Sorry for lack of communications lately but between chronic medical problems and the unwanted necessity of changing internet access providers, which was difficult for me even if for some people at RC.org <http://RC.org> that switch over might have been child's play, everything has taken a lot of time. And it probably= will take me a few weeks, at that, to really learn the Rackspace system. But I'm back online again -hurrah! -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
