Steve, the gig is great, but it's more about the Gmail interface, which is really sharp and well designed. The ads are minimal (text only; I don't even notice them) and everything is fast. I access my email from many different locations and the webmail that comes with my personal webpage is pretty poor. Gmail makes it very easy and has quickly become my primary email, though I started out doubting it.
