Agh! Tech is STILL using the VAX? That was old when *I* was there! heheh

well, technically they replaced it with a VMS Alpha sometime during my tenure - but everyone who knows it's there still calls it the VAX. And technically, they put together a really sucky webmail system that most folks younger than me use... but i can't stand it.

Yeah, I got one of those gmail accounts, too. chris.fuller@gmail.com. Can't beat 1 gig of email space for free.

Gmail is pretty sweet. I've fallen in love with it.

In a decade, I'm convinced Google will run the world, and the world will be better for it.

once again, thank you thank you! i've almost completed the move over... the keyboard shortcuts plus portability plus mega-space plus filtering options clinched it. and i'm quickly adjusting to the little habit of keeping conversations together. i still love pine, but o hail mighty google!

Have you tried using the spell checker?

I usually spell check myself, but I hit it for fun the other day. Good stuff!

And how bloody fast is Gmail?? It's amazing.

Plus the idea of "labels." That's pretty freaking cool. However, it's down right now. Hopefully it will work again soon.
