>>>many are reluctant to change e-mail addresses

or are unaware of free e-mail services like Juno. <<

This has also been my experience in talking to friends who stick with AOL. Don't want to change the
business cards and let all their acquaintances know of the new address. Truth is it's not that much of a
hassle. Not any worse than gettting a new phone number, probably easier in that you can simply
broadcast if you retain all your buddies e-mail addresses.

I would think that ISP's could make it easy by addending the customer's old aol address, including the aol.com part onto the new address. Example: joe@aol.com becomes joe.aol.com@msn.com. That way some of these people could maintain their "identities" and at the same time show the world that they were smart enought to switch. I mean, would you want to do business with someone having a aol address?;)
