Trying to kill hotmail

Some of you may already know my feelings about hotmail, and about Microsoft, its grotesque and calculating parent. If you don't, you clearly haven't been listening.

I spent the better part of last night trying to kill off my hotmail accounts (I have two; it's a long story), but being the sentimental so-and-so I am, I had to go through everything to make sure I can retain things like the emails Ben and I exchanged in the year we were apart (can't discard that melodrama!) and more practical admin things like login details for miscellaneous accounts. What a f***ing chore! Especially with the hotmail interface I loathe. It's so difficult to do the simplest of things. I hate it so much!!!

Anyway I'm thinking of throwing a party when I finally kill off my hotmail accounts. Long live gmail!! Those of you still on that antiquated shitty webmail service that is anything but 'hot' - you don't know what you're missing.
