    Gmail is not email

    I had to share it........

    my grand father come to me today and tell me to open him a email account.
    the tech geek that I am, I have a very respectful position in my family for this,
    I mostly use Gmail, so I opened him a gmail account, and the said to me,
    "you rat, I told you to open an email, not a gmail,"

    You might have similar stories like this but has this ever happened with you ?

    A brilliantly funny story!

    It's like when my 4 year old nephew comes in to me and says "I need an internet" and gets a little annoyed when I don't hand him one!

    Funny, I trust Gmail since last more than 15 years. The best thing is that this portal keeps itself updated according to the new advances in web world. Your experience was just because of the ignorance of your grand pa.

    Tell grandpa that Gmail is better than Email because it's more advanced, which is why it has a higher letter designation.

    Hmail will be coming next.

    That made me chuckle!

    I remember my Mum asking how to search the Internet I said, Mum use a search engines, my nephew however calls it Googling as do a few of the guys at work.

    What is next? Rent a Youtube? Google Plus a friend?

    Well this is quite interesting story, Did you convinced him for the G-mail account or you had opened another e-mail account on yahoo or something other service providers.
    one another story that i had found on the internet,
    that is a conversation of two people

    “Sir, what happens to be the problem?”
    “I can’t find a program on my Computer.”
    “Well, first, you need to click the start button.”
    “Where’s that?”
    “It’s on the lower left hand part of the desktop.”
    “I don’t see anything of the sort on my desktop.”
    “Sir, what do you see on your desktop?”
    “My monitor, a pen, and a notebook.”
