AT&T e-mail switch arrives.
Today's Boston Herald article on the ATT to Comcast email transition has got to be the most inacurate newspaper article I've ever read in my whole life!

However, if a customer hasn't downloaded the Transition Wizard program, there's no need to panic - yet.

This makes no sense at all. Why would the reporter imply there is a need to panic in the future?

All e-mail messages sent to the old attbi.com will be saved until the transition to comcast.net is completed.

Again, makes no sense. The emails are now being forwarded to the new comcast.net account.

However, she says, there may be some extra steps for those who use non-Windows and non-Mac browsers and e-mail systems such as Netscape and Eudora. Those users may need to take extra ``manual steps'' to download Transition Wizard, said Khoury, who expressed confidence the transition will go well today.

She has no idea what she is talking about. It's unbelievable to me how a spokesperson for Comcast can explain that you need to download hte Transition Wizard for Eudora and Netscape. Those users need to follow the manual instructions.

ATTBI.com to COMCAST.net : Manual Instructions for Transitioning Customers

E-mail Settings:
1. POP3 (Incoming Mail) Server: mail.comcast.net
2. SMTP (Outgoing Mail) Server: smtp.comcast.net
3. Your E-Mail address: e-mail ID@comcast.net

I didn't use the transition wizard and my email from attbi.com has is now being forwarded to comcast.net!

So after all the dire warnings, if you choose to do nothing and not run the transition wizard, your email still gets forwarded from attbi.com to comcast.net.

I didn't do anything this morning and logged onto attbi.com. I was automatically transferred to comcast.net. All my old attbi.com email was there and new mail that was sent to me at my old attbi.com address showed up in my new comcast.net mailbox.

It was a lot simpler than we were lead to believe.

Next up, I'll go into my Macintosh OS X Mail application and change my settings as outlined above.

I guess I'm not surprised that the only directions they provide for Macintosh are for Outlook Express. If they had read any of my emails and understood themm, they'd have put in instructions for Microsoft Entourage and all the other Mac OS X mail apps.

Sigh.

Maybe you can just put them in the comments on this post.

Thanks.

Cheers Boston vs. Cheers Hamilton, Bermuda.
The Hog Penny Pub in Hamilton Bermuda, which has a great grilled chicken salad, says:

the Hog Penny is the actual original inspiration for the "Cheers" Pub in Boston.

Funny.

I always thaought at was the Bull & Finch Pub in Boston.

When the producers of the TV show went looking for a location to depict the ideal American bar, they headed to Boston, famous for colorful pubs, sports teams, and lively politics. After visiting other Boston bars, they returned to the Bull & Finch and declared, “This is the place.”

Mr Ed, the talking equine star of the 1960s television series, was a golden palomino. He learned an enormous amount of tricks for his role, including answering a telephone, opening doors, writing notes with a pencil, and unplugging a light. Apparently, Mr. Ed would occasionally have a fit of temper, as befitting his star status, and would stand stock still, wheezing and refusing to move.

How Much For That Hydrant?
Today we went to a memorial service for a close family friend, Harold Green.

The Rabbi was talking about how Harold had such a great sense of humor.

He told a story about how Harold loved to participate in the yearly yard sales we had at our house.

It was a big deal.

Our house was perfect for a yard sale since it was right on the Walnut Street, which leads to Route 1.

Harold always set up his table on the far left of of front yard. We used to have about 8-10 families carry all their junk over to our house for the day of the big yard sale.

Harold set up on the far left because that's where there was a fire hydrant.

Harold would always pile his junk for sale all around that hydrant. Then he'd put stickers with pricing on everything including the hydrant. It think he priced it at $50.

People would then come by and ask, "Is that hydrant for sale?"

Harold would always reply, "Yes it is, and it's yours if you can carry it away!"


A New Passover Tradition
Harold's granddaughter told a story of how during a passover seder, Harold, while leading the service, lifted up his plate. The kids, thinking it was part of the service also lifted their plates.

Harold again lifted his plate and the kids again followed his lead and lifted their plates.

At this point, Harold's son Michael asked, "Dad, what are you doing?" Harold replied, "I lost my fork."

Passover plate raising, a new tradition.


Saint Anetsky?
When we got to the grave site, it was raining. My wife asked me why someone would be carrying an umbrella with the name of a Saint on it. I looked over and saw the umbrella. It read, "S T A N E T S K Y."

I told her that it wasn't Saint Anetsky, it was Stanetsky Memorial Chapel!


Harold, we'll miss you and always remember you.

Subject: LAST CHANCE to Make your Comcast E-Mail Transition Easy!
Another email in the series, "We treat our customers like children and don't even understand what we are talking about."

Dear Former AT&T Broadband Internet Customer:

Time is running out to transition to Comcast High-Speed Internet. It is very important that you take a couple of minutes to make the necessary changes now. Follow the instructions below to download the Transition Wizard or you may use the manual instructions posted on http://connect.comcast.net on Monday, June 30th.

If you don't make these changes by June 30, 2003, you will still be able to access your High-Speed Internet connection but will not be able to continue to receive your attbi.com e-mail and you'll miss out on all of Comcast's great features!

Ok, I have a question for you.

What if I'm on vacation on June 30th, returning on July 3rd?

What if I make the manual changes then? Will I be able to receive my attbi.com email?

I think I will. I think you will forward all my email to my new comcast.net address and it will accumulate over there until I retrieve it.

So when you say, "If you don't make these changes by June 30, 2003", I don't think you really mean it. In fact I think you don't even understand what you have written.

Esquire Magazine in it's July 2003 article 'A Roadmap to Musical America' selects WZBC 90.3 FM as one of their 'picks for the best ... radio stations.. from Maine to Alaska.'

If you live in the Boston area, you can listen on 90.3 FM.

Stockphoto works on a download credit system and some ideas we borrowed from the concept of micropayments. One credit is equal to one download. Each credit is worth .50 cents.

So it looks like the photos cost .50 cents each.

The paragraph that I had questions about was this one:

5.5 If CafePress.com owes you accrued compensation that is less than the Payment Threshold for at least 180 days, then CafePress.com may charge your account a $25.00 monthly maintenance fee. CafePress.com will continue to charge this monthly fee as long as the total amount of accrued compensation remains less than the Payment Threshold for at least 180 days.

I emailed CafePress.com with this question:

Are you really going to start charging me $25/month, or is this somthing you are just reserving the right to do in the future?

They replied:

From: Customer Support
Date: Tue Jun 17, 2003 1:58:51 PM America/New_York

Hello,

Thank you for contacting CafePress.com!

Please accept our apologies for any confusion regarding your CafePress.com account. Please note that you will not receive a bill in the amount of $25.00. However, if you have commission(s) in your account that are more than 180 days old, you will have to use these funds before they are forfeited from your account. You may use these funds in the form of CafeCash to purchase items from your store or one of our many shops located at www.cafeshops.com.

Unfortunately, we have to enforce this policy as we are mandated to turn over outstanding monies to the government by law. We impose this service charge because there are very high administrative costs involved with transferring funds to the government. Again, please understand you will not be charged, you will only be forfeiting the current commission balance in your account that is over 180 days old AND below your minimum check amount.

Sincerely,
