I LOVE JUNO!
I was one of the very first Juno members when Juno first started. Juno has been a huge part of my life.
I will never forget it. The day I received my floppy disk in the mail. Showing it to my dad! Look! I'm gonna get e-mail!!!
The phrase I saw on my screen every time I sent and received e-mail:
"E-mail Was Meant To Be Free"
such an amazing but simple concept. I have told sooooooooo many friends about Juno.
Soooo many times I told my friends about my other e-mail accounts, but when I referred to Juno, I said how that's the one I'll have for life. You can always get me there. That's the one rock solid e-mail service I have always had, and always will.
I don't know how many thousands of e-mails I have stored in my Juno on my computer. It's an archive of so many great moments in my life. It's the one place I don't have to worry about loosing an e-mail. It never corrupts, and never runs out of space. It's not on a server that can go down, and I can back it up.
I never imagined this day would come. Soooooooo many other free services have come and gone on the Internet....but Juno always stood strong.
When I had to pick a permanent e-mail address for my home-based business, I knew it had to be Juno.
I have a great e-mail server with my company, with no limits, but I choose Juno over that. I knew Juno's servers were more reliable, and knew I could depend on Juno as a database for my business e-mails.
In my household alone, me and my brother each have 2 Juno accounts, and my father has 1, and I was about to sign up my mother - she's finally ready to use e-mail for herself.
That's $60 a year to use Juno MegaMail. Money has always been tight in our household, and while $60 isn't a fortune, it's not easy.
If Juno was $10 a year, back in 1996, I'm sure I would have never started using Juno, and neither would have the rest of my family.
I can't complain, but I can share my disappointment. Juno will always be dear to me - the great service, the great concept/philosophy, and the great memories.
Times are different now. I understand that. It has been a great 8 years or so, and it's time for change. I understand that.
My initial thought is to have the old Juno supported by donations so some people could still use it for free.
Is there a way to get multiple accounts covered under MegaMail?
I'm upset, but not angry.
Thanks for 8 years of the best free e-mail in the world!
I wish U continued success, and will always recommend Juno to friends & business associates in need of a solid e-mail server and software.
Your proud, but saddened member,
