Gmail - The switch?

I've been thinking about switching to Gmail for a few months now. I started seriously considering it once they allowed POP access. I've been reluctant because I really like pine and my own domain. (Yes, I still read my email in a UNIX/text program.) It allows me to delete any junk or spam before downloading it into Eudora every few weeks. With Gmail, it catches all the spam for me. On those rare occasions that it misses something, it's a bit of a thrill to click that "Report Spam" button. These arguments for why a Berkeley professor switched to Gmail are pretty much going to push me over the edge to Gmail.

I, too, have unlimited invites if you'd like a Gmail account.
