Did anyone else get a calendar from msn for “being a valued customer?”  
This reminded me of something a bank would do, the dry cleaners, my financial people.

But not my internet provider, and not microsoft, the leading software company in the friggin world.  
Hell, they even sent me a page of little stickers with msn icons to put on paydays, birthdays, etc.

Shouldn’t they have sent me a computer calendar program?

It just seems like a step back technologically speaking.

No, I didn’t get one. They probably don’t have my real mailing address.

No, and that’s likely because every time I’ve tried to update my address with them it tells me that portion of the system is unavailable.

Of course they _would_ have sent me one if they had the right address. I just know it.

and YES I just got it now in March.
