My account has been odd from the start- I got it through BT when they merged their ISP service with Yahoo! (company name includes an !(!)) although I'd signed up for a Yahoo! account the previous year. Could I merge the two? No go sorry they said so now I have two accounts. I was also promised infinite storage as a paying customer but once I switched elsewhere seemed to keep this and other premium features somehow; I kept quiet and the site to this day still says I am on a BT package which I'm not paying for. My bragging rights were of course revoked once everyone got infinite storage as standard but now I have a huge hole of messages that have never been indexed by the search feature, glitch damages perhaps?<br />Anyway, as for changes to computer stuff in general (Facebook, Radio Times website to name but two have also changed recently) or indeed any change in life in general, I think the majority of us are the same in defiance of it aren't we? But then they tell us that the world must keep turning and besides all these people in the IT sector need something right? The same applies for the entertainment sector and heck, anything unnecessary for survival & basic life I guess. I personally wouldn't bat an eyelid if suddenly everyone stopped writing new books or making new films, computer games etc. but then I'm guilty of living in the past with most things which can't be said for the general populace. Funny then how IT seems to constantly buck that trend eh? Maybe my glitchy account will never be 'upgraded', I can only hope.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692328535476075420noreply@blogger.com
