The Web and Gmail

My parents are in their late eighties,and yesterday,in an email he copied me on,my father told friends how much he enjoyed Skyping with them the previous day. I have heard of people getting computers simply to have e-mail and the family photos that can be attached to email messages.

Almost everyone is now on email,even if they don’t have a computer and have to use a public one. Yet many people still struggle with their email and how to deal with it. I like to find the easy ways to deal with email,and like to share  them. I am a Gmail fan. I have set up a Gmail account and have forwarded my other email addresses to it. I can reply from my Gmail address or from my other address from right inside Gmail.

One of the things I love about Gmail,is how much help you get. If you set up a Gmail account,and click on “Help”in the upper right corner,you go to a page like this -

and get instructions on how to add accounts. Try it out!

I’ll write more about why I find Gmail so easy to use in future blog posts.
