Gmail is free as well, and a much nicer interface & setup than Yahoo has
IMHO.  You can even grab mail from a gmail account with a POPmail
program like Eudora or (shudder) Outlook Express.  And yes, I've got a
metric arseload of gmail invites I can give away too.

Yeah, they still make 'puters that don't run windoze .. though the new 
Intel-based
Macs can boot Windows too -- and this is even without getting into the 
Linux
prospects.  LOL.  My "new" computer is a 2001-era G3 iMac, scored it at 
Goodwill
for $25.

The important thing is that whatever computer you have allows you to 
get on the
Internet.  Because the Internet is where this list is, where we get to 
talk about
Type 3's.  So in a six-degrees-of-Bacon way, this might be on topic. :-)
