You won't get rid of flash for as long as Andy likes Homestar Runner

You could install the Mozilla suite, or Firefox and add the FlashBlock extension, though. http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

One point that favors Yahoo for me is it doesnt block " .lib " files

We have been having trouble with gmail blocking our Vex mplab zip files. I finally figured out that the

.lib

was the offending file. Grrr.. costs us a lot of lost code when we needed it at a competition.

I haven't deleted a single message in my gmail mailbox since March 4th, 2007.

I am using 5% of the space gmail gives me with almost 5000 messages.

I joined August, 19 2006

Since then I've received 23,657 emails.

And according to Gmail:
You are currently using 2939 MB (40%) of your 7332 MB.

I have both Gmail and Yahoo. I mainly use Gmail because it is more userfriendly and comes with Google Maps, Google Docs, iGoogle and much more. Also, I sometimes sends files between my two accounts and, because Gmail supports up to 20mb attachments, it will send from Gmail but Yahoo will not take it.

Apparently not!

okay, so now that i'm typing blind and with one hand due to an unfortunate gravity related incident, i'd like to say i'm selling my meager portion of the internet to google (figuratively of course) due to one of their newest projects, WAVE. wave has not been released yet, however the video about it at wave.google.com made my cry tears of win. the video is 1 hour and 20 minutes long but it is .UH. .MAY. .ZING. i'm definately using it when it comes out later this year. check it out!!

oh yeah, gmail ftw.

I've personally only used Gmail, as just being able to archive my mail has proven invaluable. My brother has tried both Google and Yahoo, and he prefers Gmail's interface over Yahoo's infinite size limit.
