I like to be able to read my e-mails when away from home, its come in so 
handy in the past when I've been away for a week or so and waiting for 
that major important e-mail, saves the hassle of checking upteen mail 
accounts, some of which I've found were blocked at some of the places 
I've been contracting at.
