Sympatico goes MSN

[David J Patrick]

    Did you notice that Sympatico has gone over to the dark side ?
    Acquired ? Partnered ? Assimilated ?
    Anyhoo, it's just a matter of time now before the "No Penguins" sign 
goes up. I spoke with customer service and they admitted that the last 
week has been pretty hectic, with the transition, and the bugs were not 
yet worked out. "Not yet worked in" I quipped, he didn't get it. When I 
told him that this new MSN thing would probably result in my move to 
another ISP, he was at first confused, but then (after connecting the 
dots between MSN and M$) admitted that it was likely to become an issue. 
I explained that Sympatico had been a technically functioning, if 
unsupported, linuxable ISP for years, and was now destined to becoming 
actively linux hostile. He agreed that it was a likely outcome.
    So there ya have it kids, the last straw.
Istop anyone ?
