I did exactly because of this.
I also dont' quite understand this. What is so compelling about AOL email that makes it worthwhile to spend almost $350/year? I spend $0/year for my email, and if my wife gave me some non-negotiable argument, i'd still hold my ground. Your home isn't a business, you're not going to lose productivity hours (and dollars) getting them to learn an alternative. If email is that important, then she could learn to use a free alternative fast enough. Perhaps she needs a 12 step plan? ;) ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
