@home users

[Gonzo]

I'm always telling people not to install the @home software crap. It's usually older than what you have now & it does NOTHING to improve performance. Tonight, I went to thier site & got the lowdown on what the "new" package contains-
@Home Browser useless
Internet Explorer 5.5 IE6 is out
Macromedia Shockwave 7.0 and Flash 4.0 yesterdays news
RealPlayer 7 how about RP8?
Excite Messenger for @Home wohoo
Excite ToolbarI'm getting hard now
We strongly recommend you download and install this versionspyware???

So, all you new cable users-don't bother with it-it's a waste of time

Sound advice, Gonzo. Now if only I could have me some of that cable luvvin'.

I will probably uninstall all that crap this weekend. I have never had nothing but problems with real player and this excite crap seems to have taken control of my puter.

btw gonzo - i have yet to install the speeder upper thingy you sent me. this weekend maybe. I thought I would enjoy cable for a little while b4 I get in there and screwed it up

I haven't looked into @home much yet. What other perks come with it? web space? how many emails?

 

[Gonzo]

I'll look into exact numbers later, but off the top of my head-5MB for each used E-Mail address & up to 5 or 7 email names.

The @home tweaker just puts in a "defaultrcvwin" in your registry and sets it like 364xxx, too fast for reality but a start.

When I was an @home customer I never even thought about putting their disk in my computer.

Good thing.

 

[Q]

10MB webspace. This can be accessed through member services and the password is the same as your email.

Terms foe @home webspace:

10 MB of disk space per email address.
300 MB of bandwidth (traffic) per month (for visitors viewing your page).
