Effin’ Verizon, Effin’ Bill Gates

Okay, so, I maintain this site for a small textbook publishing company. I had a cool FormMail script running from the Exam Copy Request page (plus one from the Mailing List page, in addition to scripts on the Search Titles page and the kick-ass shopping cart from the Purchase Titles page).
Well, in-house decides they need more email addresses. Someone contacts Verizon, finds out that email addresses, under our current plan, are $5/mo., per each new address. “But if you upgrade to this fabulous ASP server…”
See where this is going?
So, now I have to redesign the scripts in use so that they work on the ASP server… and I’m guessing that’s going to have all sorts of Non-Mac-Friendly and Non-Netscape-Friendly elements to it. Considering the fact that I compose on a Mac, using Netscape (and BB Edit for straight HTML), I am not pleased.
Any geeks in the house want to give me a bouncing-ball narration that would make my weekend a little more pleasant? Much appreciated, in advance.
Ugh.
