I just today got another in a long line of renewal notices from them ("RENEWAL ALERT!"), which gave me a good laugh. Too bad the articles stopped being interesting about 3 years ago. A better line on the notice would have been "WARNING: You probably regret having your subscription continue as long as it has. Don't make the mistake of prolonging your agony. Throw this letter away immediately."
I have yet to get a phone call notifying me that service has been restored (I did get the one Saturday telling me that I had lost service), but service was back up and running this morning. The mail server is still 'mail' (mail.attbi.com now), but news has changed from 'news' to 'netnews' and there no longer appears to be a web proxy. 'news.attbi.com' and 'proxy.attbi.com' resolve to the same host, which pops up the how-do-you-get-converted page (so if you have your web browser configured to use proxy:8080 as an HTTP proxy, you will only load this how-to page until you reconfigure). I noticed if I send email to my old home.com email address that it is being forwarded to attbi.com, and the DNS entry for my old hostname now points to the same proxy.attbi.com machine. My username and password came through without a hitch.

Er, what? Yahoo search has had caching since day 1 of replacing Google as their search engine, perhaps you're talking about MSN, not Yahoo?
You'll also notice, if you compare the two, that Yahoo cache handles frame sites, which Google does not.
Non-compete clauses are non-enforceable here in California where Alta Vista was based, so what would be the point?
If you read the FBI affidavit, he stole a co-worker's password and logged in using that account, not his own.
