@badhatharry: It's totally all about talking cats. FTW!

@jbarr: I'm a free user, and I can initiate group calls. All users have to have the latest update to enable group chat.

Yes, I read the reply about not having much to do about the backend.

@richardmiddletonphoto: Yup. Google Apps supports IMAP, SMTP, and POP3 (they just use non standard port numbers for ease of home users who use ISPs that block those ports).

Edited: Opps, replied to the wrong message

@Michael_Rose: While I don't have detailed instructions before me at the moment, if you have your current email in Outlook, or can get it into outlook via IMAP or POP, google has a download that will transfer those emails for you.

@bobkoure: +1 namecheap.com

@WUSS: I don't think you can buy storage yet for a App account, so you might be holding on to that old account for awhile if its that full.

@B@tM@n: For small businesses, it might be steep to pay, but my company pays MS in excess of $100k a year in upgrades and dedicated support, not to mention server maintenance and internet access onsite costs to run and host an Exchange box with less features than a basic gmail account. Considering the number of …

@kettlewhistle: me@johnsmith.com is what I use, or I would use if my name were John Smith.

@shazaam42: You should be able to change your primary email on that acconut to something else, so long as its valid. So just create a dummy email somewhere on yahoo, hotmail, or even gmail, swtich the primary email of your google account, then delete that email address from your google account. It might take a week…

@deanes: I second this. Google spam filters are 100x better than anything that I could pay to use on my MS Exchange box.

You can also create nicknames (aliases) that point to the same inbox as your email account. You can use that to sort email. So you can have amazon@mydomain.com point to john@mydomain.com and just do a search for all emails to:amazon@mydomain.com and it will pull them up.

@Dannie A.: Can't say that I haven't heard of Wuala before, but I do like the idea that you presented.

@graememc: Either way, the point comes across.

@Zerbe: noo.be?

@gibson_se: Best thing is to set up a ficiticious name in the laptop's host files (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts). Just make an entry like "MYSERVER" and point it to the wired-ip of the server. Then only use this name when trying to connect to the server from the laptop. It will only use the wired…

@Xeno: "Attached" doesn't have to mean "a part of". I've got two monitors attached to my PC, but they can be easily detached by removing the cables. You don't necessarily have to get an iMac or one of the PC manufacture's look-alikes. You can just get a really big monitor (big as in pixels, not necessarily in size)…

@zeroskills06: There are plenty of legal private servers out there, just none for WoW. Back in the day, we used to play America's Army on a private server. Same goes for Age of Empires, Doom, and tons of others.

@Tweakyth13f: It is the entire OS, not just an update that patches the 4 OS. They iPhone doesn't have a patch capability. They patch a software image, and then you push that entire image to the phone. Thats why the size is so huge.
