Hi, I'm looking for advice. My 12 year old daughter would like an email address so that she can get messages from her school teacher and skiing coach. I would like to set her up with one, but I would like to protect her from all the rude spam that lands in my inbox each day. Are there any benefits of gmail over hotmail or vise-versa? Anything that I should think about? Gordon Williams -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
