The end of an era... or something else pretentious like that.

Ever since I've been online, I've been a customer of MSN's dial up service. That is, until Monday of this week. That's when I canceled the service in favor of BellSouth's DSL Lite service. The DSL was successfully installed last Wednesday, by a very patient DSL technician who first fixed the problem in the line that was keeping us offline, then jumped through a whole lot of hoops with AT&T to discover that somewhere, somehow, a number was one off at the office.

We're enjoying the new speed, and are finding that using IE7 is easier than expected. Of course, we can use the old email addresses (and add the new BellSouth ones if we want to), and I can even access five of my old MSN/Hotmail addresses without a whole lot of trouble. I plan on linking the rest of the MSN/Hotmail addresses as well a little later. Hubby is the one that has to relearn his way around; the kids have taken to it like ducks to water. And now that I've managed to import all our MSN favorites to IE (a frustrating experience), it's almost as if we've never left MSN.

Almost.

( Cut because I realized how wordy I was.... )

Our yearly letters will go out tomorrow, I hope.
