Microsoft Makes Unexpected $44.6B Offer for Internet Icon Yahoo

And here I was thinking that Yahoo might remain my favorite E-mail provider and webhosting service. Anyone think that my Yahoo webhosting on a Linux server will survive such a buyout?

I dumped my Hotmail account shortly after Micro$oft bought them out and they became unreliable. I might have to do the same with my Yahoo! account now. Please Yahoo!, don't sell.

I'm really hoping they don't sell. I've been on Yahoo EMail since 1998 and it would be really hard to switch to something else. My wife's artist website is on Yahoo's webhosting, and I doubt very much that M$ would retain any Linux servers in a new "Microsoft Yahoo".

I don't remember when I signed up for my Yahoo! account, but it was back long enough ago that it is only a 5 char username. Now it's mostly just a spam catch-all and a Craigslist filter. I don't give out my "good" GMail address to just any site.

Do you even need an invite for Gmail anymore? I thought they practically gave them away now. If that's not the case, feel free to let me know if you need a gmail invite, I'd be happy to give them out.
no need for an invite any more, but if someone wants on I have 97 still

Someone gave me one right after I started this thread, so I now have a GMail account. Personally I had been using Yahoo for the main E-mail and my old JUNO E-mail address as the "junk box" (no one not directly or legally related to me gets my shell account E-mail address though).
