Certainly, we can admire the application for its survival, an anachronism of the now defunct 90s PC era, a pre-web program written at a time when NT Server terrorized the data center landscape with the confidence of a T-Rex born to yuppie dinosaur parents who fully bought into the illusion of their son’s utter uniqueness because the big-mouthed, tiny-armed monster infant could mimic the gestures of The Itsy-Bitsy Pterodactyl.

:umad

What? Disagree. I'd have to go through and relook at Yahoo mail to write up a disagreement, and I can't be assed but: I simply disagree.

Yeah, I didn't see much of a difference.

Except the compose message interface seems pretty new (and shitty).

Are yahoo employees really called "Yahoos?"

As a former employee of Yahoo I can tell you that yes they are indeed called Yahoos. My badge even included the phrase in it.
