In thrall to technology

I did it. I finally gave in, got some help, and signed up for a gmail account. Yes, I have succumbed. Many thanks to Leland, who was gracious enough to allow me 3 invites.

Leland, my WorkBuddy and The Sister are over the moon.


Thank you.

it always amuses me, to see how people resist technology like it's the big bad wolf.:)

I'd say - run with it! or risk being many steps behind when others are streaking ahead. See how some of the old folks are using handphones like they're so paranoid that pressing a button more than necessary detonates a hand-held bomb.

yes, but i didn't *need* it urgently. i've passed on previous invites. i have 4 pop accounts : 1 for friends, 1 for 'work', 1 for spam and 1 for blogging. need should match want, in my own opnion. and i try and live it every day.

now i have 5. with big ass storage space for mails.

oh well.
