I was just like "Oh, wow... that's terrible" until I re-read it. I guess that goes to show what a borked alarm can do to you (woke up at around 8:00 thinking it was 3:00, then 10:00 thinking it was 5:00, as a result I'm up a bit later than originally intended -_-) Ugh, I must really be out of it today, I misread your comment as saying ‘She was expecting an email only to find that my aunt was totally dead’.

Needless to say she freaked out. She was expecting an email from my aunt only to find that her Gmail was totally dead.

I guess I checked my mail after the service went back up. Also, I personally prefer Gmail over Yahoo Mail and Windows Live Mail. I get too much spam in Yahoo, and don't like Live's interface. I've never tried the mail client, though, but I can't, really, since I'm a Linux user for the most part. Interestingly, I didn’t even notice Gmail was down.
