It is hard to believe that they wouldn't want to maintain service without
interruption. After all, we are already installed, and shell out $$ every month
for the service. We should be a cash cow for somebody.
This is certainly disgusting, but, that is the capitalist system.
However, to avoid my email address getting whacked, for $35 dollars a year I
have my own domain name (HammersHome.com), which won't change even if @HOME
goes away. I think that is a good investment.
