Sorry if this is not a place to complain about GOOGLE! But I need to warn EVERYONE who is using Gmail right now. This is my story:
I used to love Gmail and Google. Their ideas are innovative; they pass the cost to the advertisers; they support the Open-Source movement. I often visit the sponsor links just to help them raise a bit more revenue. Even my friends declared that I was the biggest Google fan there was. I use Gmail for everything, even as my notebook when I attend Computer classes. Anyway, everything changes on October 6, 2005. When I got home and opened my Gmail as usual. The Gmail told me that I had a wrong password. Therefore, I turned to the "Forget your password" function. The error message was: "there was no such account..." I was seriously shocked by this. So I quickly checked the so-called "support system", from which I found nothing useful. Then I turned to gmail-support@google.com; I've sent five emails; what is the returning response? Either a computer-generated response saying "you should check the support section", "we are unable to help you at this moment", etc, or there is ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE at all. My love for Google wasn't over yet. I still had faith in it, at least for the first two days. Today, I sent another email asking for help: no reply yet. Then I've realized that Google isn't that ideal. Google is simply another Microsoft trying to monopolize the computer market and make a profit, which I understand. Where are Larry Page and Sergey Brin? Where is Google?
I've also heard this unstability of Gmail from others. But acting very naive, I didn't believe, until Gmail turned its back on me. I use Gmail as my primary email address and I am now losing dollars every single day. I regret but I deserve it since I didn't listen. Please do not depend on Google, at least Gmail, too much. Like Microsoft's Internet Explorer, it is designed for functionality but not security. Using it as your primary email address will only bring you despair eventually. That's all I have to say. Good luck with your normal Google life.
