Or in a day. Heh. Heh heh.

I'd join the raffle, but I know that honestly I don't have any use for it. I've got a fair batch of POP3 accounts with optional webmail access whenever I want it (two or three different webmail interfaces set up to suit my mood), so I'm not hurting any. In fact, I've begun thinking now and then about reducing the number of accounts I'm using.
