What can I say, gmail totally and completely kicks ass, I can't wait for it to come out of beta. Later on after I use it for a bit I'll post what's hot and what's not about it, so if anyone's interested check back.

if he does send it to you, where will it go? your location is "/dev/null" which is an empty place in the universe.

well at the time Gmail was really a lot more storage than anybody else... and it was another great idea from Google...

now everybody is doing it and Gmail was still one of the first

plus the way the invites worked it meant you were special

Which was probably why this thread was started. :roll:

There really isn't anything special about gmail. It's a gig of storage with a 10MB size limit and an integrated search engine. The only thing remotely special about it was the invite system, but Google's handing them out so quickly it's lost whatever ePenis enlarging capabilities it once had.

exactly, notice how I used past tense...
still some people don't have gmail yet and those probably want an account

just like almost everybody has a hotmail account because it's free...


anyway... I still have some invites left...
been giving them out for weeks now

hey, thanks, got mine now. Anyway, how does the thing work where you can have (youremail)@gmail.com, but give out (youremail)+spammername@gmail.com. Is that how I do it?

There really is nothing special about having an account or anything, because eventually everyone will be able to sign up.

Kinda have to use it to understand why it is great, heck it's a gig of free storage space.

Ooooh, a gig! Wherever can you find a gig of storage that you can take around with you!? SWEET JESUS!!! I think I can find a gig of free storage up my ass if you gimme a minute.

I do realize it's free and online, but I still fail to see the need for the GMail Riots (which are occuring on some other forums I frequent).

Since when has a single thread amounted to a riot? It's the Computer forum after all. GMail has technologies that just aren't in other web based e-mail applications, so why not discuss it.

So quit your bitching.
