Hrmm, let's add up the factors.

A) You like that painting.

B) The painting's missing.

C) The thieves were clumsy idiots who dropped it at least once on the way out.

It would appear to any scientific mind that you've stolen it.

On a side note, it appears I have invites, though the "Invite a friend to Gmail" button doesn't appear to be working. Awkwardness.

If you figure them out, can you send me one?

Did I mention I like heavy metal too?

Yes, it would explain your erm, charmingness. Either way I hope to get 3 invites so I can invite the Swede + pseudo-Swede + quarter-Swede. Otherwise you'll have to duel.

Hugh, I just got myself a Gmail account from a friend of mine, but thx anyway :smile: .

Right now I'm trying to make my Gmail work with msn, but without luck >_< .

When I try the link below, I get a message saying that I have to enable
cookies and so on. I've already done that, but it isn't working
_< .
Yes it will, mine does.

https://register.passport.net/reg.srf?lc=1033&sl=1

Register it there and it should work fine, since erm, mine did.

It took a couple of days for them to come, like 2-4 days. Don't know if it depends on how often/much you use the account.

They could just as well make gmail avaliable for everyone. If it
continues at this pace, everyone'll have an account soon anyway.

It's a marketing gimmick. Everyone wants one because they're exclusive.

That, and it gives them a chance to expand their capacity in a controlled way. If they just throw it open to the public, I doubt they can handle the load.
