Moving Out
Nov. 26th, 2002 09:24 pmNo, I'm not moving out of my apartment or anything. Moving away from AOL is more like it. I'm seriously considering a move to Earthlink - because AT&T is mediocre, MSN is as bad about spam as AOHell - if not worse, and I don't know enough about the other ISPs.
AOL was fun for the 3 years and 4 version upgrades I've had with it, but now, I want to move onto something a little more "user-unfriendly". ;) Okay, maybe not, but AOL seems to have a nasty little stigma attached to it - namely due to those reflective drink coasters they send out on a regular basis. And the spam I get thanks to them ... even with an account set up as "Mature Teen" (for family & business purposes), I still get obscene amounts of pornospam. Seriously.
Now, I get to deal with e-mailing people and companies to tell them of the change of address when it happens. Oh yeah, did I mention that it gives me the chance to completely shed myself of that AOL screen-name I've grown to love to hate? :-D
