Yeah, everyone gets 100 and it refills periodically. I don't see why they don't just make it public at this point.

Also, at 90% of schools, you barely need to be able to work a keyboard to get around content filters. And local security systems aren't much better.

Turned out that I have 100 Gmail invitations too. I donīt know what people to send them to and there are other good mail services such as Yahoo, too.

Hotmail works fine for me.

Although not quite as much space, one could say the same about Yahoo!. But honestly, I think one would have to work hard to fill their email account with 2.5 gigs of stuff. Or at least those who have dial-up. =P

Not entirely true. You can register using a Mobile Phone if you live in the United States. This feature does not work elsewhere.

Otherwise, yes, you need an invite.

Actually, they use Sonic Wall, and all it's awful keyword banning (games, naked, ect.) for site addresses. But it was kind of funny to see how it froze up the entire network when my friend typed his name in an address bar and got a porn site. =P

What is the point of a Gmail invite anyways? Why not just have people register on their own?

Darkslaya.. why would I send them to myself? I have one already.

Although that sort of gave me a genius idea....

I have so many invites it's ridiculous It's hard to find people who want a Gmail account to use now. And if people just post links to invites, they get grabbed up by people who just waste them.

I seriously did that so I wouldn't have nearly as much invites.

Then they gave me a refill.

Eh, I prefer my really expensive Yahoo account. It came with the DSL. Google may try to edge it out, but if I'm not even using the 2 Gig I get normally, why would an extra .2 Gig (Paid for by them snooping in my email) be useful to me?

yeah, I got 100 also...although I thought there was a way to get one yourself now.....cause you can sign up for a google account which I was told awhile back that gets you a gmail account also...actually, ill check..although im probably wrong

*Raises hand*

Gmail, meh. Yahoo! does just fine for me, blocks enough spam to keep me happy. What I really find funny is that our school is going on a tyrant-banning spree of email sites. You can't go to Yahoo!, Hotmail, TDS, ect. They think that all the virus's on the school Macs are from student's emails, which is bull. But we're students, what do we know?

If the situation becomes so bad that we can't get around any bans (I can for now), then I'll start a Gmail account. Because honestly, the admin's at our school would try to ban Google, but we'd just stick it to 'em in a school board meeting or the like. For now though, I'm okey dokey without Gmail.
