Well, it finally happened. I’m almost out of storage space on my Google/Gmail account. I actually got this Google account back when the Gmail email service was first introduced, which was in 2004. So it’s taken me 15 years to almost fill it up. Google gives you 15 gb of storage space with […] Read more »

What if I told you I would give you an email account, and it’s all yours to use. You can use it for personal or business email or whatever you want.

Recently I wrote about the advantages of using Gmail instead of the email account that is provided with your internet service. That prompted a Podcast Voice Mail (727-386-9468, available 24/7) from my friend Nancy. Nancy already uses email and has for quite a while, and now her Gmail inbox is absolutely loaded with emails.
