Haha, Yahoo Mail is Funny

So I log into Yahoo Mail a few minutes ago after a long D&D session which saw a few major combats.

I get the following message:

Notice: Change of service to your Yahoo! Mail account


Dear Yahoo! Mail User,

We hope you enjoy the new features and benefits. If you have any questions, please visit our Help page. Thanks again for using Yahoo! Mail.

Sincerely,

Basically, they've increased the storage space from 4 megs to 100 - that's 25x more space, increased the message size limit, and added a new 'search option.' The first and third options are obviously directly designed to compete with gMail. Which is good, because now, Yahoo Mail is better; however, I still like gMail better. They just gave me three more invites - I don't know if it's system wide again or what, but I don't even know who to give them to.
