The New City descends (and there shall be no more weeping):

gmail is come

and the leaves of her trees shall be for the healing of the nations

all things are made new

Amen

I am currently basking in the light of the gmail testing phase (aaron.stewart@gmail.com). Interesting. I can't imagine ever using it for anything commercially related, and having my own .co.nz domain with an email account means I'm unlikely to use it for anything much at all. Perhaps only when I register for porn site trials. (See my poker face.) However, if I was back in the bad old hotmail days, I would be declaring praise to the heavens for the arrival of the new kingdom. And yes, I would use the langauge of apocalyptic. (chide, chide, always making some theological point, aren't you aaron. do grow up.)
