how about 1x3.6Gh vs 2x2.5 at 64 bit that supports 8 gigs of ram? I bet you never used a mac.... they're amazing.. too bad I had to sell mine... who knows, maybe I'll get the G6:)
Thats exactly what I was thinking.... I was going to sign up just to see how it compares to gmail, but when I saw the sign-up form... heh.. it reminded me of yahoo mail...
It can be a friend of a friend of a friend of a google employee:) They're really nice about giving frinds beta accounts... I guess they want a lot of feedback to solve the bugs.....
but there is no place where you can "apply" for beta testing...
btw... the usernames for @gmail.com have to be minimum 6 characters... I was about to cry when I found out I can't get mike@gmail.com:(
Google plays nice with *nix... this is taken from the google website for gmail:
Microsoft IE 5.5 and newer (download: Windows) Netscape 7.1 and newer (download: Windows Macintosh Linux ) Mozilla 1.4 and newer (download: Windows Macintosh Linux ) Mozilla Firefox 0.8 and newer (download: Windows Macintosh Linux )
Too bad you can't access Gmail with a text browser... It would've been nice if the place you work for blocks every webmail service possible... If a non-dynamic text-browser accessible version was available, you could ssh home and read Gmail through lynx:)
If they do make a Gmessenger (not likely) it will work on every platform:)
POP e-mail would not work too good with Gmail since you might have 1GB of archived messages. IMAP access would be a dream come true. Either way, in a few months when Gmail goes LIVE, @hotmail.com accounts are going to die off and we're going to see @gmail.com everywhere. In about a year I suspect we're going to see a GMessenger driven off the gmail username database. That too will kill MSN, Yahoo and AOL messenger. I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.
By the way... I don't think there are going to be many who will not like Gmail. It's so Sexy it makes you wanna use it. I have an early account and I can't stop using it. I never liked WebMail before.
I am lucky enough to have an early account at Gmail. Before I had it, I was the screenshots and I was not impressed, but once I tried it out... it is amazing. This will be one of the biggest things to hit the internet. It simply works, it doesn't have any flashy ads to bother you, and it's FAST! Not to mention the "conversation" style e-mailing, and everything being so dynamic. Now if they only make a Google Messenger, we're all set!

Is there a way to turn this OFF in Mail.app? If anybody knows, please let me know, because it's driving me crazy.
Maybe I just need to look harder..
You should open source the software so we can turn it into the next bittorrent :)
