I have five accounts to give away. _If you’ve posted to this thread_ but haven’t received an invitation, let me know at marv\_r0b0 at hotmail dot com (those are zeros in the name). ---

First 5 emails to joeycooper@gmail.comski get an invite. Attach a cool picture or a joke or something. I prefer people who don’t already have an account. [e-mail address spam-proofed by Czarcasm per request. Fixing it should be self evident] ---

How long does it take before you start getting invites to send out? I want to play Gmail Santa, too. ---

Gmail allowed me to send invites after I’ve had my account about 3-4 days. Speaking of which, I haven’t received any requests (from my post above) yet. What, don’t you people want these things? :dubious: ---

[Hotmail to boost storage to 250 MB](http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5245523.html). Hooray for competition. I’ve already got an account, and I don’t want to take anyone else’s. But if there’s an absolute surplus of Gmail accounts here, could someone pass an invite to me to give my wife? ---

Well, I’ve already gotten an account, but I have a friend who would like one, but I do not want to come at the expense at any Dopers. Anyways, if there’s a spare account, my friend would be most grateful Schuyler Lystad [schuyler@gamexplain.com](mailto:schuyler@gamexplain.com) ---
