Me too; in the good old days of Compuserve etc.; when AOL was in
competition with the Internet and 'AOL' meant something rude 'A... on
line'.

In parts of the world Yahoo mail is technically defective. Just does not
work.

With no previous experience of Linux and with no hand-holding from
anyone, I switched from Windoze to Centos 5, installed Exim and it
worked straight from 'the box'. No delays, no struggle, no bewilderment,
no problems; Exim just worked like a dream come true. I use Evolution as
the mail client.
No wonder I genuinely adore Centos. There is nothing as good as it.

Our systems are exclusively Linux. No Micro$oft Windoze here.
