-Some web forms are unable to read your email address.
-Some email software cannot be configured.
-People have a hard time typing in the email address.
-Companies think that your email address is fake.
-The Longest Alphabetical Email Address on Earth.
and..."
All i can say is Holy Crap.

Who's Posting?
Have you ever wanted to say something,yet you were afraid of the repercussions.Then here's your answer.Blog Anonymously.I did a self promotion on this site so i wasn't anonymous.But according to the person who runs the site,"Regarding anonymity: I have set a cron job to purge the logs every couple of hours. I'm not checking them and even if asked for them, they will be auto deleted and I won't have them".So there you go.

NEW HACK FOR GMAIL
If you have the address john.smith@gmail.com with GMail,if and when someone sends email to johnsmith@gmail.com(that is without the .),you will still receive the email.My guess is google will only let one user sign up for the john.smith and johnsmith will also belong to the same user.Cool eh.Try it out and let me know if it works with your email address.

GTRAY
Found Gtray via Vasanthdharmaraj's Website.Here is his explanation of Gtray."GTray is a simple mail notification tool easy on RAM and does not require .Net runtime (not that I have anything against the runtime but most people think that downloading 20+MB runtime for a 404KB tool is a overkill). GTray also opens IE and logs in into GMail when you click on the notification balloon."

SKYPE REVIEW
Okay so i have been using Skype for the past few months.To give you a background of what skype is "Skype is free and simple software that will enable you to make free calls anywhere in the world in minutes. Skype, created by the people who brought you KaZaA, uses innovative P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you with other Skype users. If you are tired of paying outrageous fees for telephony, Skype is for you!".I must tip my hats off to the people who developed Skype.The sound quality is actually preety amazing if both person has a broadband connection.I have not tried using it with a dial up connection but i would guess you will not have a very good experience.The interface itself is preety clean.
And best of all,its free.So try it out.Let me know of your experience with Skype.

POP3 GMAIL
Thanks to PGtGM,you can now access your email using your own email client such as Outlook.Its actually a software that interacts between gmail webserver and your email client.It converts "messages from web format into POP3 format that a program such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird can understand."
Its a preety nifty solution,until Google comes out with their pop3 proxy.
