Of course I wanted a gmail account.  Who doesn't?  Out of no where, a friend of mine today sends me a message..

[09:49] <sakic> want gmail?

Hell yeah I want gmail.  So within a few minutes I'm sending mail back and forth to myself, tracking threads, and trying to see how gmail was going to work.  Although I talk to myself alt in general as it is, I decided this was not the best way to really stretch gmail's legs.  I toyed with the idea for all of five minutes, and took the leap of faith.  I forwarded my primary email address to gmail. 

This scares me.  My isp yahoo dsl (snet/sbc) has a pretty good setup.  The web mail is excellent, and I use outlook at home once I get what the yahoo spam filter doesnt catch, which relativity it doesn't miss much.  Not only that, but I like outlook.  Alot.  Ditching outlook could be the hardest thing.  Yahoo also offers pretty good virus protection. 

I have been struggling with managing my mail though, and been thinking about different ways of managing it.  Gmail addresses these issues differently, though, so I'm willing to give it a shot.  And I have obviously always been a sucker for something new anyway.

So I'm ready to try this.  Oh, and I reserve the right to change back at any time  :) 

For anyone interested, the new address is tranqy@, well you know the rest.
