Sandy,
Yeah, most companies think that we're their money machine.
Unfortunately, a lot of folks go along with that ridiculous relationship and
buy whatever is put under their noses without a thought about savings,
conservation or even usefulness. If we'd all protest their approach a
little more, they'd be forced to lower prices, support older systems, give
better service & faster speeds, etc..
I currently have ten Gmail accounts I use for groups, four ISP addys for
more personal stuff and a couple of HotPOP addys that I use for junk
(signing up for websites, registrations for purchased items, etc.). Back
before I lost my internet connection for those three years, I was juggling
32 different addys. Apparently, I'm calming down as I age. lol
Peace,
Gman
