In 2007, I got internet access through the phone company -- good ol' Verizon (which used to be NYNEX, which used to be Bell Atlantic, which used to be Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone). I had a landline telephone, a DSL connection for internet, and an email address with a "verizon.net" domain. Ten years later, Verizon decided to get out of the email business. They remembered, "Hey, we bought AOL! Let's transfer all our email customers to AOL." So, that's what happened. My "verizon.net" email address remained the same, but under the hood, it's AOL. Three years after that, I moved from my residence -- about thirty feet. I went from one apartment in my building to another apartment down the hall. In my new home, I was confused there wasn't a telephone jack. When I called Verizon, they told me that my old apartment was the last one in the building that still had a landline or DSL from the phone company. Sorry, a VP apologized when I asked to keep them. Verizon couldn't justify the expense to support the infrastructure for someone who still paid his telephone bill with a check. But hey, I got to keep my Verizon/AOL email, so there's that. |

Yahoo/AOL/OATH has been trying to make users give up their accounts ever since Sept of 2024 and making the platforms increasingly difficult to use and selling out more and more advertising in a last gasp money grab attempt as well. They probably won't be around much longer. |

| Fortunately, if your yahoo isn’t working they now have pills that will help you out. |

Do these pills affect the hard drive or RAM speeds? Don't even get me started on floppies. |

| This is fascinating but back on topic, my IT consultant said that AOL and Yahoo were both out for most of the day. |
