Sh*t, I thought to make it my lifetime email address...once I leave
techion and intel...

Someone uses a fast and reliable free email host? I have a list of them:
     NetAddress - Another free web-based e-mail 
     www.hotmail.com Hotmail is an excellent email provider all you need
is a web browser. 
     www.juno.com Juno provides a free email accout that can be accessed
though POP3. 
     www.usa.net Usa.net provides email forwarding for life. Your own
@usa.net address. 
     www.iname.com  Iname provides email forwarding. Choose from many
domains. 
     www.bigfoot.com Bigfoot is another email forwarding provider. Your
own @bigfoot.com 
     www.rocketmail.com Rocketmail is a email provider, just need a web
browser no POP. 
     www.netforward.com  is another email forwarding service choose from
many domains. 
     www.pobox.org.sg Pobox is another email forwarding service. Email for
life. 

But they [hotmail] claim to be still free:
-------------------------------------
Only one things worries:

  Fifth, the basic Hotmail service will always be free. While we will
  offer premium services for a modest charge from time to time,
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Hotmail email remains free - just as it has always been.

to all Hotmail members
     From: Sabeer Bhatia - President and CEO of Hotmail


  Dear Hotmail Member, 

  I am pleased and very proud to announce the merger of Hotmail
  and Microsoft. 

  This is great news both for Hotmail and for Microsoft. Certainly,
  one of the first questions you might ask is, why did we do it? Well,
  we did this for many good reasons - but mainly because our
  merger with Microsoft will make Hotmail: 

      a more feature-rich service by accelerating product
      development cycle times with the addition of key Microsoft
      resources 

      a more content-rich service by augmenting our current base
      of WebCourier and other content providers with Microsoft's
      own properties, and with other properties that have strong
      relationships with Microsoft 

      a more stable company that our advertisers and sponsors
      trust will be around for a long time, and 

      overall, a better, richer experience for you, the Hotmail
      member. 

  I'm sure you have many questions about what this merger will or
  will not do to Hotmail. Let me attempt to address the most
  common questions here. 

  First, Hotmail is to be run as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
  Microsoft with complete autonomy. Microsoft has recognized that
  we have a good thing going here, and their primary interest is to
  continue to enhance it. 

  Second, the service will continue to be called "Hotmail" -- the
  domain name will remain hotmail.com and your email address
  will not change. 

  Third, we will continue to support the widest variety of browsers,
  from all versions of Navigator, to Internet Explorer, to
  set-top-boxes and myriad other devices - just as we always have. 

  Fourth, we will continue to provide you with best-of-breed
  content (Microsoft or non- Microsoft) through our popular
  WebCourier service - just as we always have. 

  Fifth, the basic Hotmail service will always be free. While we will
  offer premium services for a modest charge from time to time,
  Hotmail email remains free - just as it has always been. 

  Sixth, all of our policies and terms of service remain in full force,
  including how we treat the personal information you gave us upon
  registering. I'll repeat our policy - we will not sell nor share the
  information you have provided to us with any third party without
  your explicit consent. 

  Finally, and to me, most importantly, Microsoft shares our vision
  of the future. When my partner Jack Smith and I founded Hotmail
  two years ago, we believed that we could change the way the world
  communicates. With Microsoft behind us, I am more confident
  than ever that our vision will be realized. 

  I hope that like me, you are excited about all the possibilities that
  Hotmail, together with Microsoft, can bring to you. 

  On behalf of every Hotmail employee, I welcome you to an
  exciting new phase in the development of our company. 

  Sincerely, 

  Sabeer Bhatia
  President and CEO
  Hotmail Corporation
