Morning all. Why didn't you take all the personal stuff with you on the way out?

I tried. I had about an hour the first time and he had already shut off the light as was standing at the back door ready to go. He said he would be back and I could get the stuff then. I had a lot of stuff there. Think of monster garage. It was a easy place to store som of my stuff.
I should have taken in home sooner but I never dreamed he would trash my personal stuff.

After hearing that, Glad that guy is not continuing to use my hosting service, though I need the accounts to help pay for the services.

By the way...Anybody need a their email hosted? Seem to have some licenses available.


It's not free, but it is a great service! (I am biased)
Zipbang does not read all your incoming and outgoing emails like gmail or yahoo.
Free Outlook like client for email/calendar/contacts/notes.
Anti-spam anti-virus stops spam but not messages.
Includes FTP to send large files or host pictures to post places like this.
The default domain is @zipbang.com. Can do custom domains and web sites as well.

Check it out here.

He parents owned the company. His dad died. I have no idea the structure of the company. I would guess his mom owns it all. He is in control.

That is our goal. And most of all we will provide great customer service. Something he can't seem to do.

Understand that @zipbang.com email and web hosting has really great customer service.

At least I think so. Worth every penny!!

Hey I own 2 P cars and I am not making any money at the moment. Maybe soon, I hope.

Just glad my cars and house are paid for already.

Hey, I'm single with no kids and have had a full time job for 37 years.
People at my full time job accuse me of being overpaid until they find out my marital/kids status. Then they ask why I don't have a NEW P Car.

Zipbang hosting is a side line. Until the recent shakeup at Glen's work zipbang was paying for itself, just barely. Now I really need to find a few subscriber's to keep it from costing money. Don't want to raise prices, that would suck. Used to have a private school that was using zipbang email hosting. They had 25 users. That was great! They paid for the New Licenses fees for the mail server. Since then I've only had to pay maintenance fees for the licenses which is a lot cheaper. Could just stop paying the mantenance fees and still keep the server going. But would miss out on the new features and fixes like the new Free Email/Calendar/Contacts/Notes/ToDo client for my users that don't want to pay for a client like Outlook.

Yeah, I sold the 911 and kept my job. Jim kept the 911 and has no job. I am sensing a theme here.

My 911 was old, old old.
