Good bye Hotmail, you were my first free email partner and we had been together now for more than 7 years- <i>but enough is enough</i>. I remember when you went to work for Microsoft, and then you began to change, slowly but surely the passion died. Other email services appeared and they were so attractive and attentive, because they looked after the ones they were with. Why did you stop caring?? I was there for you every God-damn day! I could see that your interest in our relationship was fading, your pace had slowed dramatically, you took longer to come over (sometimes I couldn't even contact you). I felt so restricted, you gave me limited space to be with you (a measly 2mb of your oh-so precious time!). And you were never able to manage that junkmail problem were you? I had to sacrifice and throw away so much for you. You thought that you had so much else to offer that you forgot what really was important to me.

That is why I often found myself in the loving arms of Yahoo, and now recently, Gmail. Don't give me that look- <i>you've got no one else to blame baby.</i> They showed a willingness to work hard at our new relationship, I got so much more space, and they got rid of that pet peeve of mine- yes darling, junkmail. No more sleepness nights and waking up to countless annoying messages, only personal sweet-nothings whispered into my inbox everyday...

I know, we had our share of good times. You were there through some pretty big online moments: multiplayer gaming, the birth of my first web site. Oh yeah- my first ever chat session. But it's time to part ways, and I think you should have seen this coming for a while now. You've always been ambitious and had your sights set on bigger things, so you probably won't even notice my absence. I'll be ok, because you're not the only fish in the sea now. So long and farewell...

Could you empty those folders on your way out?
