Wayne's New Email Address

[Guest guest]

My apologies for this impersonal letter, but I had to send this to a lot of

people, and figured a generic email would be the easiest way.

Effective immediately, I have a new email address: waynenf@....

Starting immediately, please do not send any further email to

wnfisher@..., as this account has been deactivated?

Why the new email address? I recently upgraded my internet connection to

cable internet access with Comcast High Speed Internet. Now that I am fully

transitioned to the new internet provider, I have no need for my Earthlink

account and have cancelled this account.

So, why am I not using my comcast.net email account? There are 2 reasons

for this:

1. Comcast's email accounts have a very small mailbox size (5 MB), and do

not allow any attachments over 1 MB. If I am to continue receiving as much

email as I do, some with large attachments (since I run a few web sites and

do need to receive large file attachments to add to the web sites), the

small message size and mailbox limits on Comcast were not enough. I decided

to open an account with Runbox.com, who provides a 100 MB mailbox with mail

messages up to 10 MB in size. This will ensure I never loose an email

message (or attachment) again.

2. Comcast's email servers are not very reliable, and many times reject

email because of problems or are down. I'd rather not take that chance with

my email. Besides, as a new subscriber, I will not have access to comcast

email for at least another 2 weeks, and, from what I am hearing from other

comcast subscribers, the email that they do provide is unreliable and slow.

So, please do not send any more email to wnfisher@..., and start

using waynenf@.... Please update your address books accordingly.
