I don't know if anyone will find inspiration in this.  But I can't get into the new email system, despite resynchronising and all that.  Anyway, the partly funny, but mostly tragic bit, is the offers hotmail makes to try and get you into your account.  There are two, reset you password, and email it to yourself, at the account you can't get into.  The second option is to answer the secret question, and because I've never gotten in to change it, the secret question is: Example Secret Question.  I could not make this shit up.
