Andrew Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I got 50 invites as well. :PI think it is going public soon. Or at least that is what some people are saying due to this new 50 invite thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasHogg Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 I would LOVE one philiplars@hotmail.com I've been waiting for this since I was like....4 years old or something.Right, sent one your way nampigai. And Skorpija, G-Mail is a google email system with 1GB strorage. currently invite based, perhaps going public some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 And so far I like it better than Hotmail. Because there is less junk all over the webpage.There is too much junk with hotmail, and the ads are huge (and at the top of the page).If it wasn't for GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo would still have the 4mb storage. Gmail has forced the other email providers to do better.I get 20 spam a day in hotmail, but it all goes straight to the junk email folder.I did get some spam in Gmail, but it all went to Spam folder, although recently I havn't gotten any.Gmail is fast and easy to use. Hotmail is slow and sometimes doesn't work.And gmail so far offers better names because is doesn't have 120 milion users.No more andrew_9863_9879@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 A friend sent me an invite the other day. How do you get them to give you 50 invites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasHogg Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 The invites will come with time. Usually a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ah, okay. I first thought you must have sent/received a number of e-mails with it before you got the invites. That would take long, since I still use my hotmail account anyway (wich gives you 250mb storage space if you use a special loophole) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Umm, there is no loophole to get 250mb of storage in Hotmail.At least not in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 There was a loophole earlier, when you set your country as US and region as Florida (I think) you would get 250mb. I'm told it doesn't work anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desert_storm Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Question: can you chance the background colors and stuff like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I don't think you can yet.Although there probably is a plugin for firefox that lets you do it(for any website) maybe. Thought I heard of some CSS editor or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Sent it to you.Beware, Hotmail sends these invites to the trash/spam folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Thanks, Andrew! I got it, and Hotmail was clever enough not to send it to the Junk Mail folder. I am now the proud owner of hawkstrike@gmail.com :DI tried loads of other Dune-related names, but to no avail. I'll use Gmail a lot, I think...Oh, and in case anyone is interested, I tried 'deathhandmissile' and 'chaoslightning', and they were both available as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
