You do have a google login. You may not know the password, but you do  
have a Google account, since that's how you were 'grandfathered in'.

And for the paranoid, all google needs for your login is your email  
addresswhich it already has, duh!

Wandering a bit off-topic, apologies.

Yes, I know, there is a Google account with my name on it. There's a 
difference here, but to me it does show a bit of paranoia, in this age 
of stolen identities. I don't have a Google account because I never 
set it up. Someone else set it up using my name and email.

It matters to me right now because our beloved University I work at 
has just moved all their email over to Google. What a mess, I'm the tech 
that deals with it at the desktop end. They set up an account for me 
with a non-intuitive username so everyone can get it wrong. And 
calendars? It was supposed to solve the calendar mess so everyone would 
work off the same page. Instead, everyone has two or three of their own 
calendars and then invites you to join theirs. So now there are hundreds 
I'm expected to wade through. Sheesh.

Apologies again for list off-topic
