[ale] OT: tech support hell at Mindspring--followup

[Dow Hurst]

Jim,
How are you dealing with your legacy email address that others might know? 
Plus, how long did it take to move all your listservs and subscriptions over 
to the new email?  A full day to work thru all of it?  I am just curious since 
I am seriously planning a switchover and making a list so I don't forget any 
login that might be needing to send email to the new address.

Think about it:
Phone company
Credit card companies
Every site you've bought from
Every software package you've registered for
Listservs
and so on.

My list is getting too long for comfort.
Dow
