I for one have to disagree that Microsoft's HOTmail is "useless anyway". Sure you're limited in the size of your attachments (unless you want to actually pay for more room. Pay, how absurd!).

But hotmail, for one, is FREE. And another reason, it's web based e-mail, so it's the same wherever you access it from. AOL users, have you ever gone to a friend's house that doesn't have AOL and you access your e-mail account from the world wide web on aol.com? Well, it's pathetic. They limit your writing to only plain text! You can't even choose the size of your font!

At least hotmail has a very acceptable panel of options when writing an e mail...all from the web! No software, no installations, and no extra space taken up on your computer.

All I'm saying is that hotmail is useful, especially for satirists like me.
