I've got mail!
Gmail
Well to be more precise I've got 'Gmail'!
The very kind chap from 'More a way of life' offered me an invition yesterday, gratis to boot, and so never one to miss an opportunity I graciously accepted. I'm not sure I actually want this service but you know how it is, there has been so much hoo ha about it and others seem to be falling over themselves to acquire an account I just had to take up the offer and find out for myself!! Like I need yet another email account! Hmmm.
So that I did and thus far I'm not entirely sure what I should be so impressed with, Yes it has 1000mb of storage, but outlook is unlimited. It looks a remarkably similar format to Yahoo mail, but to be fair I think Yahoo changed there's in a response to the launch of Gmail and it has all the much discussed privacy issues, tho I doubt I will ever send a mail of significance where that's concerned!
The one thing I attempted to do with it was to 'import contacts'.I duly created my c.s.v file as instructed and full of excitement attempted to import it..........the necessary window just wouldn't open, a complete non starter! Hey ho, it is a beta version after all so I'll give it a chance on that one.
On the up side I love the way it opens each mail in a format similar to an I.M. window, a very helpful inclusion for someone such as myself who frequently runs 'email conversations' and then forgets what was said previously!!
So I'll keep an open mind and for now persevere, tho I have no intention of abandoning outlook at this stage in the game!!

I got an account through my son who works for Earthlink. It sits and waits for email which I'm betting isn't going to arrive (unless it's random spam).
I think it more than likely that my account will be subjected to a similar fate :o)
Hello! my name is maggie, and i think i owe you an apology. we seem to both be pretty faithful readers of beFranks blog, Bryan isa great blogger and has done us the honor of making us both some of his earliest links. anyway, thru him, i borrowed your blogtest about ownership, and see that we scored the same 37.5%. but i failed to give you credit when i wrote about it, hence, the apology. please come visit my farm, where i'll buy the first stout and try to make it up to you... you write a very nice blog and know lots of things i dont, and im hoping you'll overlook my social blunder, and perhaps become friends. many regards...maggie b
Hi Maggie,
hey...no worries, most of the protocols of this blogging malarky are a bit lost on me anyway.I'm sure I've done alot worse in my time and I'm flattered that you wanted to use something from here, so no apology necessary :o)
I only found beFrank recently but I love it, I can't even remeber how I found him now, it was a happy accident.
I popped by your farm very briefly late last night but will have a proper look again soon.
Thanks for the comment,I'll hold you to the beer :o)
Hi Red! <(note the overly frienly application of american nick-name..lol)AWESUM! thanks fer stoppin by.. once we get the time differences figured out, you've got much to teach me! I look forward to a long and fruitful friendship... regards...'blondie' (magz)
