I finally have a Google Mail account, and it is everything that I dreamed it would be and more! Highly recommended. I have basically switched all of my non-work e-mail over to it (at work I use Outlook 2003). Unfortunately, GMail accounts are only available by invitation right now (they periodically dole out invitations to existing members to give to their friends). If you are interested in one, contact me and I will send you an invitation to join if/when Google gives out more.
