The danger to the Internet is Google's unstoppable dominance and lack of alternative competition. British Airways uses Google for emails. Why not rent a cheap VPS, install Centos (of course) and run a mail system for your daughter to use? Its bound to be better than Google. Your daughter's university emails can be automatically forwarded from Google to your Centos VPS. -- Paul. England, EU. Our systems are exclusively Linux. No Micro$oft Windoze here.
