Using Gmail. Its so convenient, its addictive. This isn't an endorsement (maybe it is, but that isn't the point of this post). Web based email has been around for close to at least 20 years. I've had an id for at least the last 7 or 8 years. How could it take 20 odd years for someone to come up with the concept of gmail? The advantages, to name a few is putting everyone you reply to automatically in the addressbook. Yes, outlook express does that too but I wouldnt be caught dead using that bit of devilry that microsoft bundled in. To group mails together as conversations. Suddenly email chess and scrabble and battleship got so much easier (no, I do have a life and don't indulge in those... anymore... never). To predict the address and/or the name when one types the first letter... and two and half gigabytes.
I'd hate to believe that the technology to do this didn't exist in the time when hotmail ruled. If internet porn existed at that time (it certainly did) then what was missing was application.
Now we reach the point of this post. Application. Now also is the time when my conscience, the part that often has to deal with inadvertent and advertent smothering/suicide/surrender, as you will, is screaming BORING in my ears. And since there will be many moments in the course of today where I shall be forced not pay attention to it, I shall listen now and stop here.
Bottomline : Gmail rules. As do beer and coffee. (not at the same time. infact of the three the only functional combination is gmail and coffee. Even beer and gmail may not be such a good idea.)
Dysfunctionally yours....
