I had to share this about Gmail as they have gained my loyalty in the past 5 months! First off have to explain why I left Hotmail for Gmail. Simple, someone hacked that account and was sending spam to all my acquaintances! My brother called me on the phone to inform me of this! I promptly closed that account and all references to it and started with Gmail. That was back in 2008. Now all had been going fine, no hassles until 5 months ago when some hacker tried to get into my account. Instead of letting them get in as Hotmail did, I received notification before signing into Gmail, that I had to change my password do to this occurrence. They informed me the location of the hack and I was more than happy to change my password! I do not have anything sensitive and of course am not an important person such as a government official, teacher etc. There is absolutely nothing to gain by hacking into my account! Why? I never put anything like SSN or bank account, simply just contacts in which is way under most, especially now since I got burned so bad by Hotmail! Really appreciate the info on secure mail, Blackwolf. If ever needed you know I will do so! Is another hats off to Gmail! Least they care! Lot more than I can ever say about Hotmail! Also once again a big boo to our government. I wish they would stop watching "I Spy" and start watching the news and realize its citizens need their help! We are out here needing employment and assistance. We are not terrorists or spies, we are unemployed American citizens!!! If they would take a look in the mirror they will see who the real terrorists are!

Recently, I have been watching what Google has been doing. I have multiple Gmail accts, I was one of the first to have a gmail acct and allowed me to send 50 ppl a invite. I invited myself 3 times ;) I seen where they started tracking you & me. I am looking into removing that factor. I do like thier security, I do not like them being big brother. I too concur, being a American sucks. They should not involve you or me into the mix of terrorism. I served for this country in Desert Storm, that would be the first one. One war is not over let's start another. The thought process exceeds my intelligence to try and understand. Ultimate Edition 3.6 is screwed to a point I am dropping commands I am not comfortable with in building and processing. You do know the base of our govt. uses linux. They are gonna have a stroke when the storm begins.
