So how exactly do pronouce it? Goose? Go^os?
I bet they'll use linux as the base of this new operating system since their whole site already runs on it. |

Hey.. So what's the big deal about Googles new GMail? That it is free? Or is it the 1000 MB storage?

It is free and 1GB, but there are ads based on the context of your emails. I'm sure there is going to be a daily upload or download cap of some sort though.

Man, I like the sound of this. I think when it opens, I will use it, and make that my new perm email.
I read a thing that says they may offer pop3 access.. You think they will? Is there a huge cost involved in that? |

If they allowed pop3, then their ad revenue would go down the drain.

Ahh.. Good point.
I have to say, I really wouldn't mind if they added their little ad-words ads to the bottom of my e-mail, like under a line: ----------------- It wouldn't bother me. |

Hmm. I don't like the idea of it not deleting it when you hit delete. But,, if you have nothing to hide .. :)
