I don't get it. Most people did or do have an other mail address available. Even with a hotmail address one can get a Google account. I suspect most people assumed a Gmail account was required and didn't check if that was really so.
I had a GMail address long before I had any other use for it. It has never been my primary address. However, many got a GMail address, just like others got a Hotmail or Yahoo! account. It was simply a free email account not tied to any internet provider. With "not available", I was referring to other Google services, not email providers. Years ago, Google was a search engine only and they then started offering free email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
