Clarity

If you're in business for yourself, as I am, you owe it to yourself either to bribe your friend who works at Hotmail for a really great e-mail address, or to buy your own Internet domain and e-mail service.

BEFORE:

Important Business Contact: What's your e-mail address?
Me: It's krb1066 at yahoo.com. That's K, R, B as in boy, 1066, the numerals 1066, at yahoo.com.
IBC: krb, 1066, what?
Me: At yahoo.com.
IBC: At yahoo.
Me: Yes. Dot com. So krb1066 at yahoo.com.
IBC: krb1066 at yahoo.com.
Me: Right.

AFTER:

IBC: What's your e-mail address?
Me: It's kenneth at kennethburns.com.
IBC: Well, that's easy.
Me: That's B-U-R-N-S.
IBC: Yes, I know.
