I got an email last night that was similar to this post on Bob Parson’s blog about the NITA decision to forbid private domain registrations of the .us domains which, for once, was a company actually sending me an email that interested me! Not only that, but it mentions the Go Daddy radio show, which…
Since the Office beta expired I took advantage of the fact that I needed to uninstall all of it to switch my email client over to Thunderbird. It’s always interesting to try new stuff. I can tell you one thing I don’t like already. It creates a new set of folders for each account instead…
