.. Very nice. A gig of storage, interesting threading feature that shows all the replies below the new message, and Google's cool search engine built in. Very sweet. Anyone else get their paws on an account during this beta stage?

A what!?..a Who!?... a where!?

I only entered this thread because I heard someone mention sweets!?

You're kidding me, right? you mean you've never heard of Google's launch into the web-based email business?

www.gmail.google.com
www.gmail.com

I'm not sure if there is anyone here besides you who have, Kas.

I've heard of it. Yahoo just bumped up their storage by 25 times (from 4 megs to 100) to try and compete. (Hopefully Hotmail will follow...)

I wasn't aware that Gmail was offering signups already, however.

They're not offering signups. While it's in beta, you have to be invited by someone who has an account.

And Zark, this gmail thing was really big news for awhile. Lawsuits and everything, California (naturally) was trying to get a bill passed to stop it, etc.

Stop email!

What's next...

Flying monkeys.

After the lawsuits the flying monkeys are always next.

Kas: why did they want to stop it? Isn't that a bit...odd?
