I've been a Gmail user now for over three years and I live in a small town about an hour and a half south of Sydney all the way down in Australia. I have friends and family all over the place, the furthest being overseas in Canada and communicating is hard on the phone due to time differences. Gmail has allowed me to communicate back and forth and with so much fun. Not only do I use Gmail for emailing friends and family, but I also use it as a backup of important assignments. Too many times I've lost work because the medium I use to transport my assignments has failed on me. So now, I send an email to myself with the attached assignment and archive it away for a rainy day. It's also a great way to store photos you've received but just don't want to delete. I love the size of the inbox, I love the ability to chat as well while browsing emails and above all how easy it is to use... It's so user friendly and so much nicer to look at with no annoying animated advertisements to distract and slow your loading time.
