Guys, here is what I did this morning. I called Qwest and arranged
for what they call "Broadband Basic" which costs $10.00/mo and also
ordered 1.5GB/sec Internet speed for $5.00/mo over the 250kb speed. This
will get me away from the fight between the local company I know have,
who is in court with Qwest.

My solution for email is gmail.com and as you can see I'm already
using this. When this is all cut over on Feb. 17 I will still have the
Internet but much faster, loose the old k5di@xxxxxxxxxx I have had for
years, but Gmail will still work, barring all the things that can change

Since you are already moving to another email system, why not choose an
address that you like :D

Google allows you to get your own URL to use for your email.

If I move from where I am to gmail I would take wadesmart.com with me
as, besides my name, its the most simplest way I have of communicating
with people.

Just a thought.

karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx???

I have the mcginnweb.net mail hosted on Google mail and I am very happy with
it. I have been using it since it was first offered. If you can register a
domain, Google will host the mail for you. Best of all, no worries about ISP
changes.
