I'd like an invite to one please. If you're a harvester go right ahead and
dump all that you want to the address below -
If you're genuine, my apologies and thanks !

With best regards,

Sparx.

I am signed up to get one, but haven't heard anything as yet. I would
like to have one if you have any left, if not maybe next time around
then. Please follow instructions in signature to respond directly.

TIA

Well, I'm not a harvester, as Sparx is now enjoying a shiny new GMail
account. But I've now run out of invites and two people are in the
queue.

Wouldn't have a GMail account if you paid me......

Why the hell would anyone want a Gmail account?
It's just a web-based mail with a 1 GB limit and
ads shown to you based on the contents of your mail.

My mail is POP3-based (FAST!) with an 80 GB limit,
and doesn't have any advertising with it, either!

Good for you. Luddite.

Pike and the google peeps are opening the channels more and more.

Liar.

Hi Olaf -- If you want one, it's yours ... well actually I've given
all my invites out, but I'll probably be given some more in the next
few days.

Hi Paul -- Well, looks like you've already got the speed and the
space. I'm delighted with GMail for those reasons; also I really like
the threading and instant searching.

Hmm, don't forget that having your mail with GMail runs the risk
of total loss of all your data -- you're depending on Google to
keep it safe, rather than yourself. There was a story on Cnet
or somewhere like that about how a Hotmail user lost all his
mail some time ago... I'd rather be able to backup my data
and not leave it to a third-party.

Really Cathe? I've got 2 in my queue. Do you want me to send them to
(e-mail address removed)? Or do I do something to your email address
to make it work?

Or email me at (e-mail address removed) and I'll reply to you with
the two people in my queue.

If you've got extras to give, I'd like one. The address in my headers
works. Thanks very much.

Hi Cathy, can you send me one if you've got any left? Remove the
obvious from the following:

Tnx!

you have the option of saving your mail to your hard drive, and you can
always open the cache for the day if you're not sure you still have it.
