Greetings and welcome to Tuesday, Feb 24th.

A number of our readers have written in to report issues accessing GMail.   According to the "Status Update" section of their support site (https://mail.google.com/support), the operators have acknowledged that there was indeed a problem accessing Gmail today, and that the problem has been corrected.  There is no mention made of what the problem specifically was.

Reader Marty submitted a URL from the BBC News Technology section (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7907583.stm) that suggests the issue started at 0930 GMT Today and lasted up to four hours.

We sincerely thank our readers for the submissions regarding situations like this!
