I still haven't seen it explained *WHY* I would want one.
You could sign up with the invite I sent you and decide for yourself. You may find it useful and maybe not. I've always liked the idea of a gmail, yahoo, etc type of account, but never used one before gmail. With one you can change ISPs and not have to worry about changing email addresses. So far I've mostly used mine for fun and just to "check it out." I will say that I've found it particularly useful for high volume mailing lists like this one. The way gmail threads messages turns a high volume list into a manageable resource. I've heard others say gmail is not unique in this sense, but with the 1 GB storage it is pretty good. For others seeking accounts... I just sent off my last invite. I think I gave away around 25 invites here with my offer. Every one who requested one was sent one (and even James who didn't :-)), so hopefully they all have been received. Gmail has been giving me these things faster than I could give them away. If, or more likely when, I get more invites I'll offer them to the SuSE list. Cheers, Gary

FYI, since I first posted Gmail has given me a bunch more invites. Send an email if you want one.

I meant to offer some Gmail invites to the group to those interested. I have six or seven available. Just shoot me an email.
Why all the excitement about gmail? What's it got that other e-mail accounts don't?
