Gah!!!

My 4MB Yahoo Mailbox is now 100MB for free! Holy Jeebus!

Yeah, that was a nice surprise. I feel bad for the suckers who paid for that.

Yeah. I think they are being pro-rated the amount they did not use.

I'm finding mine is running really slow. Are you having that problem?

I am getting "page cannot be displayed" quite frequently, but find if I hit refresh, it is usually ok after for a little bit.

Yeah, I was pretty happy to see that too! I was like whoa- only 2% used space!

But (I guess) because so many people are checking out their new email stuff, the site is massively clogged...I can't stay in for more than 5 minutes before I have a problem accessing my email. (Says "cannot find server" and is is limbo.)

Totally worth it! I will check email later in the day.

I am guessing that this change is in response to Google offering free 1 gig email accounts. I suspect that somehow Yahoo and Google are in cahoots with each other.
