I mentioned in another thread that I have some invites, and a few people took me up on them. So it appears there may be some demand again for these.
email me at **revtim at gmail dot com** with an appropriate subject line, if anybody wants a gmail account.
Why would you want one? From [gmail.com](http://gmail.com):

> Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. The key features are:

> ```
> *
>
> Search, don't sort.
> Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.
>
> *
>
> Don't throw anything away.
> Over 2483.182331 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.
>
> *
>
> Keep it all in context.
> Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.

> No pop-up ads. No untargeted banners.
> You see only relevant text ads and links to related web pages of interest.

The storage number is continuously trickling upwards.

I have fifty.
I originally only had five, but I gave out three of them, so now, I have fifty.
Gmath.

Are they that hard to get rid of? That really doesn’t sound like something I’d want. Thanks but no thanks

I don’t think they’re something to “get rid of,” but they do accumulate very quickly. A very small price to pay for the benefits.
I also have some to give out, coincidentally.

Well, it’s really not a “price” at all. I gain nothing inviting people, nor suffer any punishment by keeping the invites. I’m only offering because I was I was glad to get one, and it’s only fair.

Exactly my point, **Revtim**. Though you did say it better than I did.

I still have 46 invites, so there’s little chance of me running out…
Funny, I got more requests from the other thread, which was about something else entirely.

I have 2 gmail accounts, and one I got for my brother who has yet to get online and access it (so I’m “looking after it” for him) so I have loads of invites to give away!
They fill up again as soon as you give them away so anyone who would like, just email me through the Dope and I’ll get one to you.

As a matter of fact, I have an invite specifically for [Lynn Bodoni](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=329434#post6456574). Lynn, would you freaking switch to gmail already? We all know hotmail sucks.
[sub]Oh, and as to the OP, I have 49 gmail invites to give away. My address is in my profile. [/sub]

[sigh] Another one with 50 (OK, maybe it’s only 49) invites to give away…
Seems there are far more givers than takers!
