Have just set up a telstra prepaid wireless account on the new laptop. It seems that you don't get an email account using the prepaid system,so am looking at others to use. Don't like yahoo or hotmail, always seem to get to much c**p on them. GMail seems to be in vogue at the moment. Does anyone use it?
