I'm treating gmail like  a briefcase, you unload the new documents back home.
The advantage is that you can travel heavier. As well  hardware theft is not a concern.
I think I'll treat it like a lotus notes environment.
I have several parners and I will see how it works to have all of us access this common
email and document platform.

The big thing will be to see how well the spam is controlled. Lately, our ISP has put in
a system that catches 95% of spam and mistakes perhaps 1% of legitimate mail as spam.
Yes , my first machine was a Zenith 40 meg laptop which I used mostly like
a desktop.

Yes new machines, the home one with 2 or 3 drives and operating systems similarly  and  a
sturdy little very mobile , roadwarrier laptop are in the plans.

google might add features and likely won't just drop everything without lots of warning.
