My husband encouraged me to set up a G mail account and has shared the benefits for two years. He was excited when he learned that the class would be learning about Google and said I could learn first hand the benefits. I did set up an account about two years ago, but find myself using yahoo mail because of the familiarity. As I learn more and more I do see why he prefers Google. I just did not want to take the time to learn.
We have shared a calendar for a while, which is a wonderful benefit of Google. We can keep up with each others busy schedules, as well as, when bills are due. I like the fact that we can color code his post in one color and mine in another. I did not, however know that you could send invitations and keep track of RSVP's through the calendar. Custom reminders for calendar events can be sent to emails or mobile phones. The calender can also be synced to your mobile phone so that you will always have access.
I like i Google and want to make it my home page at work. I did not know that you can create and customize the page by selecting interest and themes. The icon "Add Stuff" can be clicked on to further customize. The home page shows the local weather, date and time. You have access to G mail, news and any other feature you add. This is definitely a keeper.
Glad you like it - and always glad to help a husband out. :-)
