Since lots of us here have had the oportunity to get a Gmail invitation, I thought this might be useful. It’s only for OSX 10.3 and above (even happier I switched :P) [http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23862](http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23862) ---

a simple google for “PC GMail tray” turned up this: [http://torrez.us/archives/2004/05/23/000272.html](http://torrez.us/archives/2004/05/23/000272.html) Don’t know how good it is though 😉 ---

Nice find NJS, so far I would say this file is worth a shot for us PC users 🙂 ---

ooh, my friends will like this once I get them gmail (when I finally get some invites!)… they said they’re not so sure about gmail 'cause it doesn’t have smtp, this’ll certainly change their minds 😛 ---

I just uninstalled the Gmail tool for OS X, since it kept freezing and consuming 90% of my processor power :S Maybe it’s just my comp, I dunno, but if you notice that your mac is running very slow after the installation of that Gmail tool, I suggest you uninstall it. Cheers! ---

So far the 1st one NJS posted works ok for PC. ---
