Now that's an idea :P

Send them all to Bill Gates and see if he claims them...

Or just flood [email protected] with them.  Seriously, between him and Bush, they MUST have AT LEAST a petabyte by now.

I got a FW: FW: FW: FW: LOL! in my inbox today, and roughly 80% of all the forwarded parties had Gmail addresses.

You do now.

I use my web reseller account to host my email. It's got six gigs of space, though I've never used more than 100 megs.

I sent one to Jack and Bush :D

EDIT:

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.
Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House is
unable to respond to every message, and therefore this response
is an autoreply.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

:D :D :D

Thanks to whoever sent me that invite. Is it possible to use another instant messenger client to message someone who is using MSN messenger? Yes I know it's a dumb question. I'm gonna STFW now.

You can use your gmail a/c, or your old a/c, for MSN messenger. But if you wanna new client, for whatever reason, there's GAIM (http://gaim.sf.net).

Title: Re: 100 Gmail invites
Post by: Dark_Me on 2 November 2005, 12:20

I want a new client because Messenger is standard MS fare. That is to say, completely fucked. Thanks, I'm going to get Gaim now. Oh and it's pretty hard to create a non-hotmail account with MSN. To the point that anyone that can fill out the fields could probably hack it and save themselves some time.

Nah, that's pretty easy (in Microsoft terms).
Simply visit Passport .NET (http://www.passport.net/).

I must be one of very few people who uses the internet that doesn't have a gmail account, I really don't see a use for it. :rolleyes:

Title: Re: 100 Gmail invites
Post by: Dark_Me on 2 November 2005, 16:21

2.5GB
That's all I'm going to say.
Though it may not be the only reason.

If you got a nice POP3 account with a spiffy spam filter, there's really no need for it.

I only got 20 invites so far, it said 10 invites 2 days ago, so they probably increase to 100 if you wait long enough ... anyone got more than 100 ? or is that max ?

I think 100 is the max.
I gave 2 away in the last few days and I'm back at 100 again.
I wonder if it's possible to get to 0...

Title: Re: 100 Gmail invites
Post by: Dark_Me on 3 November 2005, 10:15

Only if you know 100 people. Failing that, just send them to random people.

I agree, the 2.5GB space doesn't attract me, I don't really care how much space my inbox has, I just care if it has good filtering systems and can block unwanted e-mail easily. :p

Hotmail is absolute scum. ;)

*vomiting out of window*

Notmail...
