All Things Google: Gmail

Ok so I was going to tell one of my buddies to check out gmail because he's using a email provided with his ISP. If you get an email account with another non ISP affiliated account you have one email....and that's it.

The interesting thing to note is that I sent him an "invite" and now I show one less invite left.

Which brings me to my question...Do you have to have an invite to sign up for GMAIL, and if not what is the point of having the invites still or at least having the counter? what happens if you run out, you can't tell anyone about Gmail anymore?

Let me know if you signed up for Gmail without an invite, or if you have any clue why they do this?

Edit:
After going to Gmail and searching a bit I found this comment:
If you run out of invitations, they'll be replenished over time.

Still not sure why they even have a counter anymore if that's the case, maybe someone knows...if I figure it out, I'll let you guys know.
