You no longer need an invitation to obtain a GMail account, see the BBC story here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6338183.stm).
Thanks Rik,
Nerval will have to change his signature at the bottom of his posts now!
Oh, he can still send invites, he just won't get any karma for doing so. :)
I checked with googlemail UK and it didn't mention just asking so I left it for now.
Thanks Rik I have just signed up for an account
checked again just now and it's changed.
Off to amend sig. :laugh:

It's quite useful to have a throwaway one or two. I use one for all forum notifications, so I have formed an archive over the years.
I have used Hotmail for years..I know....I know.. :o
Never had a problem.
Oh and one or two extra freebie's for Forum use.
I think the big advantage with GMail is the free POP access. IIRC, you have to pay for that with Hotmail?

I'd hate to see inside your attic. I'm an inveterate thrower away. Anything unused/unaccessed for a few months goes in the bin. Cos if I needed it after that I'd never find it and it would be quicker to get a new one.

Not on old accounts, only newer ones I think, mine works fine through OE.

I am the worlds worst hoarder...my loft and garage are full of " I may need it some day " stuff. ;)
Mine too. I can't resist keeping packaging in case I need to send stuff back under warranty. :(
But if you do you'll never find it. :laugh:
Let me see, I knew I had one round here somewhere............
Nah, mine is all stored in my " Logical Chaos System ".. ;D
As is mine, I use the archaeological method, oldest layer at the bottom. :)
