Hi all, Just a quick note of warning about ISP's. Since last Friday morning I have been unable to receive any emails. I could send emails and I could access the internet OK via my broadband connection. My ISP has no support out of normal working hours, (not that it would have made much difference) so I had to wait until this morning (Monday) to contact them interstate, by phone. Ah yes, that's right they said - your email address was removed on Friday during a cleanout, because it wasn't being used. I usually receive about 30 emails, or more, a day, so that's rubbish. That's OK, we'll give you a new address etc as of this morning they said and all will be go again. Yes, but what about all the emails I may have had since Friday morning and all over the weekend - they're gone she said. Gone - what do you mean they're gone!!! Well they are just gone - like, poof, gone. Not a happy little chap at the moment and they certainly haven't heard the last from me! Ray

Sorry about your loss. Your experience is another reason I support having an email address not attached to an ISP, like gmail, yahoo, etc. These email address will not change just because you have a problem with your ISP or change ISPs. I prefer gmail and if you would like an invite, let me know and I'll send you one. Again, sorry about your troubles. -- Enjoy the Search! Thayne
