Tech Tip – Switch to Gmail!

If you’re tired of getting tons of spam and you want a new email solution, but don’t want the hassle of switching email addresses, then you’re in luck. Gmail makes it easy to switch to a new account and still get emails from your old address (minus the spam). Jake tells us how to do this on the show, and we recomend this guide for folks who want to know more.
