I only have a yahoo email for testing purposes. A lot of eyes are on this merger (or possible merger)

Mike:

I just sent you an official invitation to join Gmail.... come on over.  I love my gmail and I think you will, too.  Check your email for the invite!

Gmail is a lot more reliable than Yahoo IMO.  Yahoo has gone downhill over the last couple of years and I seldom ever log in to it anymore.

Carol,

Thanks!  Most of my realtor friends here do use Gmail. 

Jan,

Do you get points for inviting me to Gmail?  LOL  I'll check it out.

Bonner,

What service do you use?

So far, I'm happy with Gmail as an alternative to my Outlook mail.  I've seen the same kind of "system down" message on Hotmail on rare occasions.

Could be. I do not see near the traffic on yahoo. Maybe I am missing something?

Your Friend in Charlottesville Virginia!

Mike, it just goes to show you never know when you're going to have a blip in service.  I like Gmail, when I use it and I use yahoo for all my junk mail or at least when it's likely to get junk mail. 

Yahoo is going town the tubes!  They have to up their game if they want to compete!

Edward,

Thanks for commenting.

David,

It's hard to change; I've got my email plastered everywhere.  Oh, well.

Charles,

It's working now.

Eric,

Congrats on your Elijah gig!  Wish I could attend the concert.

Gmail is the way to go--much better, and better features.  Did I say that it is vastly superior to Yahoo email, yet? 

Kent,

I signed up today, and I like it better already.  I'll keep the Yahoo account for spam stuff, like someone else commented.

Mike...I have to agree with everyone, gmail is the way to go!!!!  In the years that I've had my gmail account, I have not had one issue...knock on wood!

LOL - yahoo frustrates me to no end but I've had the same address for years and just created a new one the other day...maybe I'll set up a gmail to see if the grass truly is greener?!!?

Mike - I have never experienced this, but if this is a continuing problem, it may indeed be time to change. Try www.brinkster.com for your e-mail. I love brinkster!

Barbara Jo,

Never heard of Brindster!  Thanks for putting me on to it; I'll check it out.

Nathan,

I set up a Gmail account, and am enjoying the experience.

Cheron,

Thanks!  It seems to be a concensus.
