Gee, mail

… and I still have a couple of gmail invites to spare. I’ve been forcing them on people who had no idea of gmail’s indescribable coolness. A few people refused. One or two already had been invited. Others ‘already had an e-mail address’.

I must say it’s great to have one e-mail address that is, as yet, completely spam-free. All my other addresses have to go through Knowspam first and having the gmail account for online buying/selling, registering, etc, is nifty as it avoids the challenge/response barrier.

    As I am still gmail challenged, I would be happy to accept one of those invites, while my preferred gmail address may still be available.

    Awww man, I’ve got a GMail post in draft (for tomorrow). Now I’m just gonna look like a copycat!

    Mind you, I’ve got 6 invites at the moment.. getting ridiculous!

    I would really like to get a decent e-mail system I can live with, if you care to grant me that… I would be forever in your debt and willing to assist you in anything I can

    Like you, I’ve also not yet had any spam to my GMail address. It’s great.

    if there’s still one spare than I would be very happy with an account too.

    Thank you very much for the invite, if there is ever anything I can do, please ask for I’m in your debt.

    Thank you again :)

    I have been waiting for gmail to become public so that I could finally rest on one e-mail account. If you indeed have a spare invite, I would appreciate it. If not, then thanks for the consideration: jjs -at- sturgeonfamily dot com

  11. Roelof says July 2, 2004 at 7:55 am

    I thought that I did post her the other day. I must have done something wrong. If you have one invite left, I would be happy with it.

  12. Caroline says July 2, 2004 at 9:02 am

    They’re all gone now.

  13. Roelof says July 2, 2004 at 12:48 pm

    :(

  14. Caroline says July 2, 2004 at 1:47 pm

    If I get more invites you’re the first.
