It is still in test mode, and the only way to get on is to get an invite from someone else that is already there!
If you want to get on early, I have a couple of invites to give out. (sorry - they randomly give a few to some of the current test users).
If you want an invite, I need your first & last name, plus your current e-mail address where the invite will be sent. NOTE: HOTMAIL automaticly deletes the Google invites as spam. Yahoo automaticly puts the Google invites in your Bulk Mail folder - so a different address would be the best.
Actually, I don't like the free online email servers. Yahoo! is the worse. I never use it, but I get tons of spam in it. I don't even check it anymore. I've even sent in a support question on how to disable it...NO REPLY.
I have a static IP address. I use a free product called IMail. The free version gives you 10 email addresses. Plenty for my family.
If anyone has a static IP address and is hosting a web web page on IIS, I also recomend Web Wiz Forums. A free messageboard.
