haldoorBloody Netscape, in their infinite wisdom have decided we all must now access our e-mail through AIM. I already HATE it.
Now I know my Netscape service is limited and boring and I can't do heaps of flash things with it, but honestly, do I care? "No" is the answer, plain and simple. All I want is a place to collect my messages, send my messages, simple and without fanfare.
I understand they NEED advertising to survive, but do they need that much, taking up all the space? Before, I only got one row of it at the top, and maybe another when the screen came up to tell me my message was sent. Now I get them everywhere.
This in favour of reducing my available viewing space of "how many e-mails do I have sitting there?" to about 6 instead of most of the page, annoys the crap out of me. Bastards.
*sigh* So I've been with netscape since forever and it's time I moved on, right? Yup, I think so. I can use the yahoo.com.au one I set up when my daughters set up theirs, or I can look for another to suit. The hassle of changing everything over is the big pain, but I guess there's no hurry. I can run the two until it's all to my satisfaction.
My main criteria are:
1/ Ease of use
2/ Number of e-mails I can see in my list to be attended to at once
3/ Small amounts of advertising
From there, all is cool. I know I'll barely use half the functions, so space is no biggie either (they increased my available storage space from 250MB to 2G -or whatever the hell it's called, who remembers?), but since I'm currently using about 6MB, I really don't think that's an issue. *snort* And that's their big drawcard to flash in front of me *snorts more*
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know, but methinks I'll go for the easy option unless I am totally swept away by something else in the meantime.
