Fred Holmes: The other thing that comes to mind: If the Internet is global, what does the above mean operationally? If there is more than one gmail.com on the Internet, do the DNS servers in the EU point to different hosts for gmail.com than the DNS servers in the US? I wouldn't think that would work. There certainly couldn't be duplicate e-mail addresses in the system, not duplicate [specific [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/31/google_looses_trademark_battle/ Apparently it doesn't own the trademark to gmail, so it can't use it in Europe. Oh well! * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

DNS servers aren't seperated by continent, essentially they all sync, otherwise it wouldn't work.
