Honestly, I don't care how much free storage space they give me...regardless of how convenient it is. I ain't feeling good unless I have my data on a machine that I can touch and have total control over.

But I digresss...to answer your question...no, not for my(our) benefit. To attempt to collect information on me, my habits, and my interests so they can turn around and make money from that information...that is their ultimate goal.

My ultimate goal is to have an email address with a cool name like [EMAIL PROTECTED] that I can use for frivolous purposes.

Do any of you really think that Google is giving you all this storage space for *YOUR* benefit?

Seriously.  Do you?
