Sorry to chime in here and thus break my vow of lurkhood, but ... reading the Gmail page, I'm legitimately confused about what the big attraction is. Many members of my peer group are falling over themselves to get into the beta, and my take on it is, "Um, I already have searchable email with permanent archives of everything, and fairly unintrusive advertising," and it's called Eudora.
Now, if you're comparing Gmail to other WEB-BASED mail services, OK, I see the difference, but it's always struck me that people who are seriously living and dying by their email inbox get disgusted with web-based email fairly quickly anyhow, and move to something better.
Am I missing something obvious? I probably am.
