Now with Gmail Paper, you can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and it'll be sent to you in the mail. Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip. And it's totally free: the cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements printed on the back of every print."
No Google stamps?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Remember that your requests for Gmail Paper go through faster if you're a subscriber to Google TiSP.
I caught a nasty virus when I got a paper cut from a piece of Gmail paper spam.
This is the second time I've been fooled since getting to work an hour ago.
I can't be discerning at this ungody hour.

Is it really necessary to make the site completely useless one day of the year?
:)
What day in particular is that? I'd like to see them make the site completely useful for one day of the year
It'd be a start
Haha, this is so funny, I am rolling on the floor laughing out loud. Ha. Ha. You really had me for a moment. I thought Google would actually do this. Then I remembered that it's April Fools day and realized my mistake. It's so hilarious. You owe me a new monitor, because I spat coffee all over mine when I laughed about myself. What a prank. Absolutely genius. I'll forward this to everybody because it's so freakin believable and comical at the same time. They'll love it. I love it. Can't believe you got me. Two thumbs up. I'm still laughing. Sooo funny.
I'm here to mod insightful and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta mod points.
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
May we have 32 days in March and then April, 2nd, please?
What's next, Cowboyneal gets laid?
Frankly, I cannot wait to tell my boss what I did with his last memo.
There needs to be a mod for unoriginality.
Oh, wait. There's one.

... because then I wouldn't have a birthday.
Which means no new gadgets for me.
Which means no more joy for me.
*Aw*
Did I mention I've got a kidney stone?
Is there a Mod +1 Needs Sympathy?

Of course, Google Filing Cabinet, soon to be announced, does allow double filing by creating an ethereal copy for the second cabinet.
Have you read my journal today?
I have rejected the service. I selected, 'I don't agree' button as they are not yet ready to print 'mp3' and 'mpeg' files...
I know people who really will benefit from GMail Paper. For example, Farmer Files has always been uncomfortable with normal Email and prefers paper mail. This will really help him.

From memory, he farms spaghetti on a farm in Switzerland that was featured on Panorama in the 1950s...
Those using pirated Tinysoft signatures(TM) are a real threat to society and should all be thrown in jail.
I know of some State Government agencies that would LOVE this! Of course they would most likely get talked in to using Microsoft paper instead, which locks you in to using only Microsoft Pens, Microsoft Staplers, etc.
On a side rant, it boggles my mind how everybody think putting something "on a computer" or worse yet "on the web" magically makes things better. Sometimes paper and pencil is the best solution.
"I cannot wait to tell my boss what I did with his last memo."
I've gotta tell my boss to hurry up with their memo writing, I HAVE TO GO!
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
I'm still holding out for Apple iPaper :)

Linux doesn't even get any love as during an April Fool's joke...
