I only use this computer for letter typing and sending and receiving e-mails. Get me back so that I can ready my e-mails and do not have to use a magnifying glass. my e-mail is about the size of a index card and i cannot read it to the fullest. it is too small. i liked what I had before and don’t like what Yahoo did to my screen.

I don't like the new direction Yahoo is trying to take. The old homepage was much better than the new one. The layout was better. I don't like boxes to expand and distort my page when I hover over them. I don't need extra boxes and tabs to all this crap. Yahoo WAS different than everyone else, now it's like they're trying to be like everyone else. And that's just the new homepage. The new toolbar is horrible too. The majority of the LOYAL Yahoo users are NOT happy with the new direction.

For yahoo to make everyone change in a day and age where you can customize it, one would think they would offer both. Its starting to look too AOLish also. the older page was simple, yet sophisticated. Too bad they dont listen. Other than ranting, ive just in the last hour canceled , two of my yahoo premium services totaling $59/month. Its one thing to say "yea ill get use to it" but its another to just offer both and make more users happy. I dont like it. alot of familiar things are else where on the page or not on the main page.

However, during a great deal of the banging I did on the site, I kept coming back to the old "can versus should." As in, just because Yahoo! can use expanding divs, should everything be an expanding div? Again, 80% impressed, 20% snarky.
