Kclug Digest, Vol 43, Issue 1

[Craig Aldinger]

RE: yahoo/microsplat
Heard the news of this over my morning coffee, gagged and spat.... I've had
the same yahoo address for so long I can't remember just when I started it.
It's become a repository of useless email and all of my "real"
communications are through gmail these days. If the Evil Empire actually
buys yahoo, I'll kill the damn thing and Bill Gates can go kiss a donkey's
hinder quarters!
