Classroom III

I have never been a fan of Yahoo! Mail. But, all my students have Yahoo! email accounts. It is not blocked by our school district’s content filter, so I have been tinkering around on it today. The best feature about it of me is the address book. As a habitual user of .MAC and its AddressBook, all my contacts are expertly cataloged with photos and urls, Twitter names, and even a couple of SecondLife aliases. Yahoo! Mail allows easy import of vCard data from my Apple AddressBook. Yahoo! Mail’s categories is very intuitive. I imported several contacts which had old email addresses. Lots of my relatives have moved from Earthlink to Embarq and I had not updated their email addresses in Yahoo! By importing their vCards, all I had to do to update them was delete the old ones.I do not like it that Safari does not play well with Yahoo! Mail’s new version, so I have been using the old version of Yahoo. I have been having a heck of a time with Firefox on the Mac crashing. Maybe the recent Apple update and the new Facebook pluggin on Firefox will help. My cousin Dr. Frank Quinn recommended that Opera. I have not tried it since July ‘07. Flock browser is installed on my computer, but I never think about using it. If I install Opera, it would just take up space on my tiny hard drive. Opera is the default browser on the new Acer PC my mom uses everyday. She was constantly calling me complaining about Internet Explorer and Firefox not opening stuff and not being able to find buttons…she uses Opera without any issues. Woot!Yahoo! Mail is my new favorite app. It works and I can not beat the price.
