I've replied to 2 folks about this, so here it is for the list. gmail
is google's web based mail system that offers 1 GIG of free space. It
display ads based on content in your email. The ads are normal
non-intrusive ads that google made popular. Since this service is in
beta only existing users can invite others. Gmail gave me up to 12
invitations to hand out over time, I had one left so I offered it to
the group.

But I have to add, where have you folks been? :) Gmail was talked
about a lot in the press! Just google for gmail!
