Yeah yahoo is down....I wanted to get hold of my bro in cali...

at first I thought that yahoo was getting crappy on my v5 client (got sick of the "upgrade" messages, and refuse to use the new verison with it's ad banner), then I tried my upgrade-spam free version of v7, and it still did not work....

Oh well, I'll just nuke some 3 day old pizza and listen to some music or something.

HEY! I don't have anybody's yahoo address! *pouts* Of course, then I'd probably be tempted to chat about bikes while I'm SUPPOSED to be working... but then, I already give into the temptation and check bike forums from work. :p

It's a crappy job, anyway. Maybe they'll find out and fire me.

I stay logged in (but invisible) and when I came back to my computer after a few hours, I noticed it was trying to log in. Still down it seems.

I didn't know all of you were on Yahoo messenger...maybe I should get IDs and chat with a few of my foo budZ!

They "aimed" too low!


To be honest, I think they are ALL the same more or less. I just got used to Yahoo first. There are programs you can use to chat on any of them, like Trilliam or GAIM, if you really are a nut. I have Trillian, but only use it if I need to chat with somebody who isn't on Yahoo.

Windows ME - The biggest OS flop in the history of computing. I installed it on a Friday evening and removed it by Sunday afternoon of the same weekend.

:D Tell me about it... I've been working on computers for 17 years now... *just shakes his head*

I had someone bring me a Win ME computer the other day, wanted me to 'fix' it. Recommended the recycling bin and a new comp! (Yeah, they went and got it.)

Can't believe they used that for so long!

Oh, and the ME in windows ME stands for "METH", which is possibly what they were smoking when they came up with it.

I have no clue what inspired BOB, but we can all rest assured it probably involved many relaxing nights around a bowl of paint chips and some lsd-laced nacho cheese dip.

You jokers saying they merged with Micro$oft weren't far from the truth.

Anybody go to the main my.yahoo.com page today? It's now "Verizon Yahoo".

Ah, yes... Microsoft Bob... but it wasn't actually an OS... it ran on top of the OS, and made a bad OS even worse! :p

There was an anouncement a couple weeks ago about MSN messenger and Yahoo being able to chat between the two. This is wher I came up with them combining. I guess that these things should be told in my comments.

When getting Verizon as an ISP, you have a choice of using Yahoo or MSN. I chose Yahoo (because I felt lazy) and could log into Yahoo or Verizon/Yahoo. Really, the main reason I chose Yahoo was because I could not get in contact with someone to give me the network addresses I needed to put in IE and time was limited.
