Its NOT about the Gig of storage! (Score 1)

I have read a lot of the comments in here but I have yet to see this point being made. Its NOT about the Gig of storage. I moved to Gmail because of the Google Search Engine - I moved to Gmail so I could search my email fast and easy. I moved to Gmail because it made my email relevant again. I don't to have to copy the text of every prior email in a conversation every time I send a reply - that just makes things bulky, hence Gmail's conversation thread - LOVE IT! I don't want to have to search email by email to look for that one tiny bit of information that I KNOW I received in an email a long time ago but can't remember when and exactly from who - hence the Gmail Search.
And for those that think that gmail does not have Integrated Groups - http://groups-beta.google.com/ if you are logged into Gmail you got yourself personalized groups. For those that thing that gmail does not have customized news - news.google.com if you are logged in you can customize your preferences on news. For those that think that google does not have a "Briefcase" like yahoo - http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm Gmail Drive.
