Don't take GMail or other blessings for granted

At Thanksgiving time of year, we are supposed to reflect on things we take for granted. I want to acknowledge that I tend to take some of my desktop tools for granted. Case in point this morning: don’t take your browser or you web mail for granted.  

Make GMail your desktop email handler

More and more people use webmail as their everyday email program. Google GMail and Yahoo Messenger are the two  most popular, despite some loss of desktop convenience compared to  Outlook or Thunderbird. A big frustration is not being able to quickly forward a page you are reading or document you are working on as an email attachment.
