Why do you have to type "@hotmail.com" now?

Post by Fire Fly »

Since when did Hotmail make you type in @hotmail.com each time you log in now (assuming you didn't save it)? Its really getting on my nerves, having to type in @hotmail.com each time I want to log in from a new computer (since my internet isn't up yet). Arg!! Just pisses me off.

PM me your address and I could send one your way, assuming you haven't gotten one already. I've got around 50 or so available. ;)

It's been like this for a couple years which raises the question, why the hell are you going back to shitty msn mail after all that time when you can get g-mail? :P
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Yes yes yes, I know its old but its finally bugged me enough to raise some questions about it. I haven't bothered to change because well, I resist change, especially when it concerns changing an email, AIM, or something else.

(random side note: I'm at one of my college libraries and this guy across from me keeps staring at me, shamelessly....very freaky)

Is gmail that much better? If someone wouldn't mind, I would like to just try it out for a bit (in reference to various offers earlier).

That goes for anyone else too.

Inertia. I have both gmail and hotmail accounts but I used to be so reliant on my hotmail that a significant chunk of mail still ends up there.
