Reply #4: I use Yahoo, and I hate Yahoo with every fiber of my being. [View All]

I've had a Yahoo mail account as long as I've had a computer. I also use them as my primary news portal because I won't even consider AOL or MSN.

They hooked up with SBC to deliver SBC Yahoo DSL, and their software is GARBAGE. If you're on Windows XP, you just need the modem. Any other version of Windows, the modem and the Enternet 300 software. But ALL of the other SBC / Yahoo software is bloated, buggy MSN / AOL "wannabe" garbage. In California, the phone lines come from SBC. Your DSL connection comes from SBC. You DO NOT NEED the Yahoo POS software...DON'T install it, and if you did, UNINSTALL it. Their own tech support will even walk you through the process of doing it because they know it SUCKS.

Yahoo took its eye off the search engine prize because it got greedy, it wanted to "diversify." As a result, I use Google...as many other people do...and haven't done a single Yahoo search in at least five years.

SCREW Yahoo. SCREW Jerry Yang, David Filo, and every Yahoo drone who ever conspired to invade the privacy of its customers.
