I use many of google functionalities. Docs, calendar, web sites. My main email account is provided by google but using my own domain. With such amount of space I collect in this account all my pop3 and imap mail accounts provided by others (gmx, hotmail, aol, etc). I only have had problems to get my yahoo mail.
Netbooks with Chrome OS are (or will be) small machines designed to make you live in Google world. Chrome OS seems to has been designed to make you use all google web services. Google allows colaborative work. For example, I have done work with some members of this list using google tools. Really useful. Years ago I worked developing documents managment systems but when Google launched google docs and made It popular I stopped doing that work because google tools were enough to satisfy needs. Theoretically, google helps to reduce costs in companies because covers some software needs. Google is amazing and smart but sometimes they seem to be invasive. 2011/6/9 Owen Densmore <[email protected]> > Like many a damn fool, I'm seriously trying to use Gmail, via the web > interface. > > Now, I (possibly mistakenly) presume you, fellow gmail users, are not > going through the tortue I am.
