Sorry Jeff, but I was thanking Goodmorphing with the "ma'am" - I used your quote to refer to my reservations after following your link!
I always try to do too much in posts - too much context switching!
No offence I hope!

Okay so i guess somebody send me an "invite" for GMail so i can see for myself. Anyway in honor of DWatson's relentless nagging for the suite (we love you man) here is the link to download both suites in one and some screenshots. This will officially go live here tomorrow but you can download it first here:
Download the Alienware Skin Suite: http://www.alienware.com/standalone_pages/alienguise.aspx
enjoy it -)

Got your email Jeff, actually happy you made me wait, it's become the first theme in on a fresh install of XP Pro. No more popups...Mwuahahaha!
Will have to do something about my cable though, it's running slower. Took a while to download this, but it hasn't left my system and probably never will
Well everyone, I'm gonna go take a nap.

That "Gmail is creepy" site is too funny. Mmmmm FUD. 
If that 1 gig is so terrible, I wonder why all the other webmail providers are scrambling to up their amount of storage?
To put a message in the trash, one must check the box beside the message, then click "move to trash". To empty the trash, go to trash folder and do the same. Every webmail account I have ever had has worked like this.
Yes, any provider might keep your messages in their databases for as long as they please. Hitting your "delete" key doesn't really delete anything, any more than formatting your hard drive permanently erases your data.
Anti-FUD...

| Google offers 1 gig of storage, which is many times the storage offered by Yahoo or Hotmail, or other Internet service providers that we know about. The powerful searching encourages account holders to never delete anything. It takes three clicks to put a message into the trash, and more effort to delete this message. It's much easier to "archive" the message, or just leave it in the inbox and let the powerful searching keep track of it. Google admits that even deleted messages will remain on their system, and may also be accessible internally at Google, for an indefinite period of time. |

Alienware's server is getting hammered. They are aware of this and are working on a fix. Patience is appreciated.

Err, didn't hear anything about 2 Gigs. But I did hear that they were going to upgrade the free service to 100 Megs and the paid service to 1 Gig. Don't know if it'll actually go through though.
