Cross Yahoo off the list of free e-mail services!

[Chris Janicki]

Actually it looks like Yahoo! mail is remaining quite stable... more so 
than most ISPs.  And no need to change address/domain.  They're just 
charging for remote access now (if I understand correctly?).  A smart 
move in my book... it ensures they plan to stay afloat by earning money. 
  That kind of stability is worth a few bucks IMHO, and their price is 
still much cheaper than running your own domain, when you consider time, 
equipment, fees, etc.  And for the non-computer-savvy populace, its a 
fine choice.

Hmmm... a dot com actually trying to earn profit?  Good for them!
