Re: OT Hotmail

[Sean Robertson]

I am online, have my own domain name and am a fulltime webmaster.  I use

hotmail (when it is working) because I use more than one computer throughout

the day and it is too much trouble to use a pop email account on more than

one computer.  With hotmail, I can access it from anywhere with no setup and

all of my messages are there.  Any URLs in email messages are made into

links so it is just that much easier.  You definately can't beat the price.


BTW, Hotmail is still down for me, I think they must have several servers or

something.  I am just about ready to switch to yahoo mail or onbe of the

other free web-based services.
