Got one 😀
Went to gmailswap.com and offered to toast the kind person who hooked me up with a cold beer, ( or 2 ) and had a reply in about 1 min.
NOW ( sigh ) I gotta drink this ICE COLD beer ( or 2-3 ) in her honor :beer:
Try going there and be creative, Heck in my reply, I even threw in a pint of blood, ( to be donated to the redcross next time they come around, which I always do anyway )

There used to be a few sites that let you do that, but I think has Google disabled external access.
 
Look at some of the auctions on ebay when you search for "gmail." There's apparently a place that allows you to check the availability of a screen name for $0.99. Is it worth it? I dunno.

I got solema@gmail.com as I pretty much expected. Having a last name that only about 9 other people in the country have is a helpful thing! 😀

Not that I know of.
When you get the invite, you can then check to see if it's still available.
When and if I receive some invites, I'll go back through all 99 pages of this thread, and PM those that have been here on AT the longest, not the noobs, AND how often you have posted, don't mean Crap to me.
People that post in before the lock, or just JUNK, to run up their count DO NOT impress me at all
