[kj] OT: which free webmail?

[Brendan]

Thier whole business model is more fragile than many realise. Anyone could
come up with the better search engine any day and out-Google
Google...except insofar as a % of people have become so used to Googling
that it's now synonymous with web searching.

Over time they are diversifying into other markets, I'm keen to give their
new browser, Chrome, a try. I think they are the lesser of 2 evils.

Then again, Microsoft is giving away an awful lot of $ through their charity.
