[Coco] Paying for list resources

[Jim Cox]

Boisy:

Google currently is not charging for GMail accounts which 
include Pop access, and I am suspicious as to why.  They 
offer 1G of storage and they are now handing our invites 
like crazy (50 each for my two accounts)  Stoage may be 
cheap, but not that cheap.

Who's to say that Google doesn't hook people on their 
services then when it's time to make a profit, they start 
charging, not just for GMail, but for Google Groups.

Makes sense (and cents) to me.  I agree that we need to 
expand the awareness of the CoCo community, so how about 
those of us with web sites, list the link to both this 
list and to the Yahoo list on their sites?
