google is going to have free e-mail soon with a hole gb of space! will you sing up? is it worth ditcing your hotmail for this? and how do u feal about google reading your e-mail to use with adds?

hell yeah i will, id rather have google adds than ms adds (even if their way reads my email) because ms probably uses subliminal messaging to braind wash people to use the msn tv shite and other stuff. and use the zone instead of gamespy, and whatnot. gotta love google, especially if it has really fast load times, hotmail takes a little too long sometimes.

woot! woot! I'd get one, but not over hotmail, I think this will pull many potential/current users away from other free emails, even hotmail, but not as much, cause theres still msn Razz

I'd keep my hotmail account AND get that one.

I'm pretty sure you can use MSN Messenger without using a hotmail account if you get a 'passport'. I'd definitely get one, does anybody know when they'll be available?

yes, you can defenatly use MSN Messanger with your 'passport' account. Dan and Darkness use their @compsci's for MSN

You know, people don't read your emails... they are just scanned for words by some script that's all.. what's the big deal?

Josh_VK · **Posted:** Sat May 15, 2004 2:45 pm
