I originally come from New York, USA. In 1998 I decided to sell it all and backpack around the world. I've met some interesting people and had about 15 email addresses since then. Being a rolling stone, you don't always have time to check your mails every few months. I've lost so many contacts that way. After a few months of not logging in, all my mails and contacts are cleaned out of those other free services, never to be retrieved again. I've since settled down in Holland and received an invite to Gmail and have been hooked ever since. With Gmail I just don't delete anything... it's like my own private Google search engine! If I'm looking for a babysitter I used a few months ago but forgot the name... just search my Gmail. If forgot a phone number of someone I'm meeting up with tonight, but I know a keyword in a mail (place, names... ) I just Google my own Gmail.
