Re: Microsoft Online Customer Service

Yah, seriously ;-(

 It was on the morning talk radio 96.9 WTKK here in Boston that they were talking about it.

 Crazy huh?  There were also talking about the removal of teaching how to write in Cursive and only teaching the kids 
how to sign their names....  That scares me too...  Hopefully none of this will actually happen, it would be baaaad.
