The Design and Implementation of laffer1

A service called CertifiedEmail is being used by several large ISPs including Yahoo, AOL, and Comcast.  (Yahoo partners with broadband providers)  This service charges 1/4 a cent per e-mail sent.  E-mails are guaranteed whitelisted.  The catch is that ISPs won't guarantee delivery of email any longer unless you pay up. 

This is a terrible day for the Internet.  My email server has been locked out of hotmail for a year and now i won't be able to email others anymore.  I can't even pay for this service as I don't have a business license. 

I got my 15 entries and 7 edits done today.  I don't have to worry about that for the rest of the semester beyond the paper.

I need to do website stuff yet. 

So I've had trouble with the G4 PowerMac.  I tracked it down to a bad IDE cable on the DVD-ROM drives.  Every time there was disk access, the system would crash.  I went to 3 stores today looking for a flat IDE ribbon cable.  No one had any.  BestBuy was even out of the round ones which won't work in this case.  The cable has to feed under and around several metal pieces.
