Top of the front page in less than a minute. What does it say about us that our first response is to rush over to HN?

About me it indicates that I am totally dependent on Google for acquiring information about work-state and communication. I think that's OK, since I work here, but I'm not sure.

This actually raises a slightly terrifying reality. How much would someone have to pay you to never again recover your gMail account? I would demand just an absurd payout to willingly walk away right now, with all those contacts, messages, unread e-mails, organization, etc... Scary how much faith we put in this free service.

Thanks for reminding me to backup!

Per their SLA (http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/sla.html) if it's out for more than 45 minutes (0.1% of January) biz users get 3 free days. Yay?
