Use some variation of your name to make it easier for
people who receive you e-mails to tell where they come from.
Better yet, take this oppertunity to register your own domain
name. You can then set up as many e-mail names as you want
(actually most registrars limit you to 100). Then set up
your e-mail to forward to your ISPs e-mail box.
Or, you can go to Yahoo, Hotmail, G-mail, AOL, Mail.com, etc
and set up a portable e-mail address that will not change
as you change ISPs. I did that about 11 years and 4 ISPs
ago. Switching ISPs since then has been less painless.
