If anyone would like an invite to gmail, just let me know.

Honestly, gmail has a lot of impressive features for a free web based email.

Hmmmm, this question requires some pondering.

Keep being cool by not having a gmail account, or give into social pressure and join the fun…

Back to more pondering...

I can't tell if this is Programmer envy, Programmer snobiness, both, or just plain snobbiness. Needs more pondering...

Odd.

It sent me a transcript of my whole conversation and all the conversation I missed.

It does that on purpose. You have to explicitly leave the chat using /exit or /leave, otherwise you're still in the chat, even if you log off of Gmail. That's supposed to be a feature, but I guess if you don't know about it it could definitely seem like a bug.
