Agreed, the toolbar worries me a bit, I'm not using it. Partially because I don't want my browsing recorded, and partially also because most of the functions it gives are already in firefox. That's why I linked to the Too Cool site, which gives all the options; I'd be tempted by Opera if I wasn't already using Fx, and besides, I cut my 'net teeth on Netscape, IE always annoyed me.
I am using gmail, but I'm also keeping my other email addresses and my work address, I've balanced out the concerns over the benefits.
I'm partially tempted to DL the toolbar from Tim, use it once, then destroy it, just to get them to give away money for nothing. But I'm a little bothered about legacies and I'm not that good a techie; I'll likely do it on the old PC when I next boot it up to transfer files.
I liked your Correspondents predict thing; I was cooking through it at lunchtime, I'll listen again tomorrow I think.
