Well, as of today I have 50 Google Gmail invites. So if any friends or family want a Google Gmail account then let me know. Gmail is a fairly neat email service. Especially if you get a lot of mail or subscribe to busy mailing lists. I use it to read through mailing lists that get thousands of messages per day.

I don't use Gmail to send email only because it doesn't support PGP encrypted signatures. I always send email with an encrypted signature to prevent someone from forging email from me. If there's not a valid PGP signature then it is almost certainly not from me. My public PGP key is published to the keyservers. So, the validity of a given email can be checked automatically by an email program that supports PGP.
