[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's contagious.  I don't have Yahoo.  I have AOL, and email has been inaccessible for the past hour.  AOL acknowledges the problem and is working on it.[/quote]

Are you joking?

First I couldn't belive anyone still uses yahoo then I keep reading and people are still using aol?! This blows my mind.

Does it still say "YOU HAVE MAIL" when you log on?[/quote]
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.[/quote]
