You can still use the "Basic HTML" layout for GMail. It's actually pretty great.

It doesn't look "modern", but if you ask me it's more usable.

Ahh, lovely. What I really like is the strip along the top. I want to use Drive. I click on ... wait for it ... "Drive". Genius ... (not being sarcastic either)

I just realized that when I want to use drive I open a new tab and type "drive" and let auto-complete do the rest.

Since Google has hidden the other properties behind the grid icon I've completely forgotten they were there.

Now, how do I get to it again?
