Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
GMAIL accounts (google email) are still in 'test' mode, expected to become general availability shortly. Getting an account requires an invitation. Invitations are hard to come by.
Someone has made a clearinghouse for people who want an invite and those who have them and dont need them.
Gmail, for the uninitiated is the newest big name free email. Think hotmail, except you get a 1GB mailbox instead of 10MB. Which means you never have to delete mail ever again, and in fact can send critical files to yourself and let your gmail email box become your offsite, online backup medium. I zipped up my photos and critical documents and emailed them to myself.

and hit 'refresh' on your browser every few minutes. When an invite is available, put in a current email addres (VERY QUICKLY) and hit 'enter'. You should get a note that the invite has been forwarded. Dont hit refresh too often or the sites flood control will stomp you and you'll have to close your browser and start over.
Took me about 10 minutes yesterday before an invite came through.
Its especially good to get in early because you actually have a chance at a decent username instead of bobjones9234.a.5.1293b.
I got lastname.firstname. I'm still bummed out that I dropped the "th@msn.com" address I had when I got to alpha test the old MSN network back in 1993...who'd have known it would become a popular email system...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
