Google's free email service. 1000 MB of memory. The catch is it's not open to the general public yet, so you have to have an invitation to get an account. I have some invitations, available to whoever emails me first.

Out of curiousity how is it a person gets invitations from Google? How did Andrew and Fred get their invitations? Did they register early? Sign up? Buy Stock? Make Google their homepage?
I don't need another e-mail address. I'm just inquisitive.

Janice-
You have to be invited by someone who already has it. There's no other catch.

Hey, I've been busy elsewhere and missed this thread. I have a few invitations left. Let me know if you need one.
Janice:
You actually have to go up the Bill Gates and stick your tongue out to get an invitation. Just kidding; all you really need is an authentic Bill Clinton autograph, with his definition of the word "is" with it. No, that's not right either.
It's a promotion by Google to try out their system. This is their way of spreading the word. I don't know how Jon Wymer got it, but we got it from him. At least I did. I think Jon has the original autograph with the defintion. I'm going to have to ask him about that someday.

But how did THAT person get invited?
And how did you get a few invitations to pass out to others?
Were you invited by someone else? Is it just one big chain of invitees that can be traced back to the creaters of Google.

Basically, I got Fred and John theirs. Now they have their own invitations, which is handy dandy! It is a different style of doing email, which some people would like while others might not...

Andrew:
You are most welcome.
How is Jessica doing with getting it going? Are you experiencing the same problems with yours? Are you both using the same computer?
I have received a notice from Google that Jessica has her account, and that she changed the name. I didn't know her name at the time, so I just wrote Mrs. Myers. I wonder if the problem lies there. Should I send her gmail address to her Yahoo account, just for verification? I could just send her another invitation, but then you would have to send to me the exact way you want me to put it, so that she can have it the way she wants, and just accept it as is. This may get around the problem. The account she has now will just lapse, I suppose.
You are most welcome.

Hi John,
Jessica had initial problems with her invitation link, as did I, but she kept trying and finally it worked. The problem in her case may have related to the name issue, but I am not sure. Once it worked, she tried choosing a particular account name, but it was already taken, so she tried again and found one that was available. It all seems to be working fine now, for her and for me. We are both grateful to you, Jon and Fred for your kindness. Much obliged!

To answer the earlier question, I got mine from someone who wanted to do something nice for an Army guy. No doubt Google started with some kind of initial list, then it has spread from there. They still haven't taken the step of opening it to the general public. 1000 MB is no small chunk of memory.
