A friend sent me an invitation to google’s gmail. Sort of like orkut, the buzz in the usual forums and other sources makes me think nearly everyone who wants one has one by now and I’m just catching up. I don’t use web-based mail so I’m not sure what I’ll do with it, let alone with a gigabyte of storage, but I registered just in case I need a throw away account. The mail id is ‘rlonstein’ at the obvious address.
