E-Mail Addresses

I've had the same e-mail address for the majority of my online life until maybe about 6 months ago. Seeing as how I was coming to China, where the internet has proved itself to be unreliable and very slow, I needed an e-mail supporter that was simple and therefore loaded fast. I've stuck to Hotmail most of my life, but until recently I was realizing how many problems they have, especially with eating my memory. Trying to load Hotmail in China takes about 10 minutes, not to mention that every 6 months they change the template and headlines, telling me that the new service is better and faster....I'm still unamazed. I still wait the day where Hotmail will maybe catch on to the simplicity of Gmail and just make it as simple and Java/memory hogging free as possible. I think though, Hotmail is going in the direction of AOL Mail or something else, but by far the most user-friendly, fast, free e-mail service is Gmail, in my honest opinion.

I'm only saying this because just now I tried to log onto my Hotmail account, discovering that they had another new template that they promised was faster, but this time, I couldn't even access the "new message" function, I don't think they've kept their word in making it faster. But I do have to admit, it does look a lot more, "beta"-y? Well, it looks new.
