What a lucky coincidence you posted this today. Thank you.

I'm setting up at the moment a new laptop for a customer of mine who  
is moving out of town & giving up their ADSL connection; they're  
planning to use a GPRS Vodaphone card for the next year whilst they  
look for a permanent residence on the South Coast, but Vodaphone  
doesn't provide them an email address. I set up Gmail today and it  
seemed quite quirky - like not all messages came through. I'll keep  
monitoring the next week or two and consider perhaps moving them to  
Yahoo.

Stroller.
