Jan 2014

I have had a Yahoo e-mail account for nearly 5 years, but I have not stored any personal info etc.
If the hackers want to know who I've e-mailed, I don't give a crap.
However I will be changing my password.
I don't like Yahoo...I often have trouble opening my mail, which is mainly from NPOs I've donated to, and a couple of other sites....I only check my Yahoo e-mails once or twice a week.

I also have a G-mail account, which is the one I use daily, & which is the one my friends & family use to get hold of me & vice versa.
G-mail is far better than Yahoo, in my opinion.
