I was just kidding, actually. I use my own email server, I store my
documents on computers I own, I use remind and wyrd to manage my
calendar. Google only has what I put in public web space and what I
email to Gmail users (that reminds me: we *really* need a nice open
source web mail interface to compete with Gmail).

I make heavy use of rsync and unison to keep data in sync, but those are
weak workarounds. The Real Solution™ is Plan 9!
