Default gmail invites available

Heya,

Thought I should mention (although it's kinda unrelated to the topic at hand) that I have tons of Gmail invites if anyone wants one. I guess they're not as hard to come by these days but yeah, if you're interested, let me know...

Well, tons of free storage and a really nice, really quick, and pretty intuitive interface. Plus you don't use folders to store mail... instead you apply as many "labels" as you want to a message.

Also, all the messages in a conversation (the original message and any subsequent replies) are organised into essentially a thread, although they call it a conversation.

And searching is lightning-fast. Plus there's free POP access. There's more but those are the main features.

There's more here: http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/about.html

The only gripe I have with gmail is that msn doesn't automatically check your inbox for you. I know you can download programs to do that kinda stuff for you but someone at Microsoft forgot about us lazy people!

(Excuse my random raving, I do realise that msn doesn't check gmail because they want to encourage people to sign up for hotmail )

MSN is evil... I want my ICQ! I just wish more people used it these days.

Of course, Hotmail is far more evil than MSN.

Pff...Hotmail and msn are so not evil....I mean, what could top an email address with '@hotmale.com' (gettit? Sorry I'm still working on this whole concept of 'wit'). But on a more serious note, all my friends use msn, so if i was to swap....well i would be talking to myself.
