Today I answered Shaw's persistent, doomsday-like email pleading by setting up a eMail account at @shaw.ca to replace my @home account. Well, the @home account (via Shaw's servers, etc) is working perfectly. However, in the last 30 minutes, every attempt to log into the @shaw.ca account comes with a Fetch Error indicating that my username and password is rejected by the server. It did work for about 10 hours, though, so I suppose I should be overjoyed instead of annoyed. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
